Giusto Manetti Battiloro Gold Leaf Books Lehtikulta 80 x 80 mm 13 g White Gold 6 kt Loose 5 Leaves

Gold leaf. A traditional material intended for professional restoration, craft, and artistic gilding. The Golden Leaf Loose sheets in White Gold with a fineness of 6 karats represent the lightest and coolest shade within the category of gold alloys. They are characterized by a distinctly silvery‑white tone, created by using an alloy with a very high proportion of silver and other white metals, while the content of pure gold is low. This color produces a bright, clean, and neutrally appearing metallic look that is visually closer to silver than to traditional gold. The shade appears modern, minimalist, and elegant. Thanks to its brightness and cool tone, it is popular in decorative and artistic applications where a white, clean metallic effect is desired, without any yellow or warm coloration.

The thickness of the gold leaf is defined by the standardized weight of 13 grams per 1,000 leaves, resulting in a finer and more flexible sheet suitable for detailed work. Thanks to its flexibility, the material adapts exceptionally well to intricate surfaces, inlays, wooden decorations, picture frames, and sculptural elements.

Loose leaves are ideal for water gilding (poliment gilding), where they allow the creation of a smooth, highly polished surface. They can also be used for oil gilding on properly prepared smooth substrates.

The 6‑karat fineness provides a firm, stable, and durable structure, while the low gold content further enhances its characteristic light, almost silvery appearance. This shade is suitable for projects requiring neutral, cool, and visually light metallic tones, distinct from all traditional gold shades.
