Black Gold is the moody one in the Metallique family: a deep, smoked gold that reads like treasure pulled from an old estate. This Art Alchemy Metallique Wax by Redesign with Prima is a dense pigment paste made for fingertip gilding. Sweep it across raised carvings, cast mould appliques, frame edges and hardware, and every ridge takes on a dark, burnished glow.

Each 0.68 fl oz (20 ml) tube holds months of accents. Apply sparingly, let it set, then buff to the sheen you want, from soft shimmer to antique shine.
