Antique-y gold paint?

I am planning to paint a dressing table art deco style in green with subtle gold on legs. The main colour will F&B Theresa Green but I have no idea where to find a decent metallic gold paint that would be suitable to highlight a few features. Any advice welcome.

Have you looked into gold leaf, or the cheaper 'dutch' gold leaf?

It is a fine foil that comes on a sheet of tissue paper, you apply a glue to the detail and then dab it on over. It gives a lovely finish.

Amazon.

If you'd rather not attempt gilding I'm sure either of these will have some good alternatives.
