GOLD LEAF GILDING 

Gold leaf gilding is the artistic process whereby a thin layer of gold is traditionally applied to a surface.

The thickness of a gold leaf can be measured with a microscope: the statue of the Madonna and Child (over 11 m) is entirely made of copper gilded with gold leaf. Yet less than 500 g of gold were necessary.

We offer below 2 different versions of genuine gold leaves
and a model of imitation gold leaf: This latter looks entirely identical to genuine gold leaf although it doesn't contain any gold particle. Our imitation gold leaves, far less costly, are thin sheets of metal made of copper and zinc.

Each product is sold in books of 25 leaves. Bulk or with transfer sheet.

3 application techniques are also explained in the product page. > Reduire
