    Is it worth trying to restore this? I realise there's nothing I can do about the broken petal but the gold-ish pearly coating on the small flowers could be touched up? What do you think?

    I’d say it’s absolutely worth it. Where’s @kyratango !

    Charming!
    Broken petal can be mended with nail gel UV resin, the gilt coating with diluted gold paint (but I love the distressed look of the actual!)

    Thank you! Perhaps when I next go into town I could have a look in the hobby shop at paint and see if there's a reasonable match. Then I can worry about whether I will mess it up and make it worse :hilarious:

    Oh, yes. Pretty. Just imagine all the places it went when it was in its prime!

    Doable for sure, and with all that paint loss you sure couldn't damage it.

    Well I got some craft paint, some bits will need going over again but as I wasn't expecting it to be perfect I'm quite pleased with the result :) Haven't attempted the replacement petal yet though. IMG_20230621_104619 (1).jpg thumbnail_IMG_20230621_104636.jpg

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    You did an excellent job!
