African gold

A precious metal and colour, gold is associated with wealth and prosperity; the most outstanding and the best.

In Africa gold has been used for centuries by kings and royalty to craft royal regalia to wear and also intriguing symbolic objects.

Whilst with interiors, gold objects, lighting and soft furnishings create an atmosphere of opulence, luxury, glamour and indulgence.

Hi Luuk,

The image you are referring to I found on the Gold of Africa Museum (Cape Town) website. This museum is now closed permanently.

I do not know where they sourced the image from unfortunately, I did an image search to see if I can find anything else and nothing comes up.

Sorry I could not help further!

Kind regards,

Kellie

Hello,

Hopefully you are doing well. I saw a canvas picture of the photograph of the lady with the golden glasses. I like it very much.

Do you know if it is possible to purchase somewhere?

Kind regards,

Luuk
