What is Ormoul? – French ormolu, also known simply as ormolu, refers to a decorative gilding technique used primarily in French decorative arts. It involves the application of a thin layer of finely ground, high-carat gold onto bronze, brass, or copper objects.
The result is a luxurious, opulent finish known for its lustrous appearance and intricate detailing. Ormolu was commonly used during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in France. It became synonymous with the grandeur and elegance of French Rococo and Neoclassical styles, adding a touch of luxury to interiors of the period.
