Newly constructed Retablo Everything that you see in gold in the photos was gilded by The Faux Pro in real 23k gold. The red arches in the center of the retablo are faux marble painted to match real red marble at the base of the structure. The sky painting in the top center was painted by the Faux Pro and the eight small columns and two large columns were marbleized to match the real marble on the altar table. The four large 18' structural support columns to the side and rear of the retablo were painted to match the real marble in the altar. The two side niches to the left and right of the Retablo were also gilded by The Faux Pro. |
