The old 1920s light might've been gold leafed. I've seen a handful from around here that were... and always got painted over. Painted so many times the paint got so thick it fell off in chunks and revealed beautiful gold underneath.
I've just painted a 1970s typewriter in rustoleum hammered copper. It's a nice color. A little bit metallic. Doesn't really show the hammertone unless you really lay it on thick. Which is a blessing and a curse.
