It is a difficult thing to combat when the hilt is as profusely koftgari'ed as the example you post. When the base metal begins to rust, you risk either sealing in moisture if you attempt to do that to preserve which could cause further rusting and any attempts to do anything else could remove more of the goldwork. Your best bet is to keep the hilt dry and in low humidity going forward to maintain it.
