 [ My 7 kg Merriam's dictionary of 1927 gives this definition:
 [
 [ ormolu (French "or moulu" = ground or milled gold)  1.  Originally
 [ a preparation of ground gold for gilding.  2. A variety of brass
 [ made to imitate gold in appearance, used in mounts for furniture,
 [ etc.  Called also mosaic gold.
