By adding a touch of copper to a an almost pure alloy of gold you create this shade, a slightly more warm and antique looking shade of gold to traditional 24ct gold.

Genuine gold metal beaten incredibly finely to form gossamer thin sheets for gilding. This leaf is supplied as loose leaf with each leaf in the booklet sitting loosely between thin rouged paper sheets. Loose gold leaf is incredibly delicate and is too fine to be handled by hand, when working with loose leaf you must make use of a gilders tip in order to pick up the gold.

With gold leaf being so thin, its thickness is measured as the weight of the metal per thousand leaves. Heavier weight leaves will give more lustrous finishes and will weather for longer outdoors but are more expensive due to the increased amount of gold. We offer a variety of weights to suit all projects and budgets.

Our gold leaf is available in booklets of 5 leaves and 25 leaves, standard booklet size is 80 x 80mm, but some larger sizes may be available. Please check the individual items for details on the dimensions!

23ct Red usually will not tarnish in most interior decorative applications. If the surface is to be handled or touched then it will need protection. we recommend sealing it with a high-quality sealer such as the Whitson's Universal Lacquer, you can view our range of sealers here.
