Old Silver captures the soft, time worn glow of heirloom silverware, the kind polished by generations of hands. This Art Alchemy Metallique Wax from Redesign with Prima is a creamy pigment paste that gilds raised details in seconds: rub a little over carvings, cast appliques, trim lines or stencil work and the surface takes on an antiqued sterling sheen.

The 0.68 fl oz (20 ml) tube is intensely pigmented, so each project needs only a trace. Buff after it sets for anything from a whispered shimmer to a full metallic gleam.
