I have a Renzo Rutili cabinet with gold? leaf doors. There is overall spotting that I would like to remove if possible. !st question; Are these done in actual gold leaf? Looking through my loupe at the spots they are gray and orange/red, which makes me think rust and therefore not actual gold leaf. 2nd question; How would I remove the spotting? I have tried lemon juice with no effect.

Hi glassartist.
I prefer gold leaf finishes to show off their well earned patina. It took many years to create those sweet spots, and they look divine.
just a thought,
Aunt Mark
