In antiques, the color gold has always been associated with opulence and luxury. In the historicized design of the 40s and 50s, the Italian designers Gio Ponti (Milan 1891 – 1979) Osvaldo Borsani (Varedo 1911 – Milan 1985), and many others brought it back into vogue. Many furnishing accessories, lamps, chandeliers, seats, and furniture have details in gold in a variety of materials.
