These ormolu pieces are a gold-colored alloy of copper, zinc, and tin used in decorating furniture and making ornaments. The term originally referred to a process in which powdered gold was mixed with mercury and used to gild metal, a technique that was banned in the 19th century. Today most ormolu is made of brass or another metal with a gold finish over it. It's made to look old and steeped in history with a patinated gilt look to it. See less
