Description

This high-purity 23.75ct gold leaf is ideal for professional gilding, offering the luxurious appearance of pure gold with slightly enhanced durability. Containing around 98.9% gold, it provides excellent resistance to tarnishing and weathering, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Perfect for use on architectural features, picture frames, sculptures, lettering, and decorative surfaces, this gold leaf delivers a rich, warm tone that enhances traditional and contemporary designs alike. It is also widely used in fine art restoration, faithfully replicating the brilliance of historical gilding.

In jewellery making and craft design, 23.75ct gold leaf adds a genuine gold finish to a variety of materials including metal, glass, wood, ceramics, and resin. Its delicate yet durable composition makes it ideal for embellishing handcrafted pieces, providing an elegant, luminous highlight that elevates any design.

Compared to 24ct gold leaf, 23.75ct offers a touch more strength and handling ease while maintaining the deep yellow lustre of pure gold.

The booklet contains 25 sheets, each measuring 80mm x 80mm with a thickness of 0.125 microns. The total weight of the gold is approximately 1/2g.

To use, gently lift a sheet with the gilder’s tip and place it onto the desired area. Lightly apply it using a brush, then smooth it out with an Agate Burnisher to prevent the foil from sticking.

Please note:

• This product is not edible. Not suitable to be touched with bare hands.
• Loose leaf offers precise control for detailed work but is delicate, while transfer leaf is easier and faster to apply on flat or gently curved surfaces.
