Very, very impressive. I know from experience just how long it takes to paint all those little diamond shapes. Interesting that the gilded leaves seem to come in groupings, unless that's an effect of not seeing the shine in all places. Normally I've seen them spaced more evenly, but the exemplar does seem to have the same arrangement.
I don't think there's an issue with the space occupied by the text; it's within normal variations, leaving some room for signatures.

What size did you use for the gilding?
