I see this as a perfect candidate for a premium David Marks finish. As
I recall, he starts with a sealer, then a few partially overlapping color coats,
than some textured gilding, followed by application of caustic agents, then
brushing and scraping, and finally a couple clear top coats for protection. I
understand a complete finish can take weeks or months to complete...
