Here is another gem, appears to be someone got obsessed with gold and we have this. Nice work though and I am sure its good quality work. Not sure if its just some brass electroplating or its actually gold plating but a quick search suggest that zinc coating can give similar nice finish.
Whatever it is, it looks awesome.
