A gloss varnish will deepen colors on a printed piece, while a matte varnish has

a more neutral effect.

When sealing a painting with a varnish, a matte finish is more desirable as it does not reflect "glare" making the painting more aesthetically pleasing.

When sealing an object d'art again, a matte finish makes the intricacies more visible.

In the case of a faux fabric (silk or linen) of a faux fur (as in an object painted to look like an animal) a matte finish would be more "realistic".

If however, you have done a faux marble, stone or gem effect, a gloss finish would help to add to the realism of the piece.
