Ormolu items are gilded bronze for the most part and your item appears to be painted with a gold color paint.

Ormolu was a very dangerous process applied to bronze on higher end pieces. It looks different then the finish on your piece. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ormolu

Sorry for being rather redundant Sonoma.
