Platinum Leaf (Loose and Transfer leaf)

Platinum is a precious, silvery-grey metal. It is a highly valuable commodity due to it's scarcity and very little of it is mined each year. It is a non-oxidising metal.

Loose genuine platinum leaf sits loosely between thin rouged paper sheets in the booklet. It has to be handled using a gilders tip (brush) and is used to gild onto moulded,carved and embellished areas. Also used for watergilding and glass gilding.

Transfer platinum leaf is the same genuine leaf but pressed onto a backing sheet of acid free tissue paper. It is generally used for gilding onto flatter surfaces, for signwork, walls & ceilings and exterior gilding.
