Giusto Manetti Battiloro Silver Leaf Books Lehthopea 95 x 95 mm 28 g Pure Silver Loose 25 Leaves

Silver leaf. A traditional material intended for professional restoration, craft, and artistic gilding. The Silver Leaf Loose sheets in pure Silver shade are made of pure silver and feature a bright, cool, and neutrally metallic appearance. This material is characterized by its distinctive silvery‑white tone, which gives gilded surfaces a modern, elegant, and visually clean effect. Silver leaf is widely used in decorative and artistic applications where a pure, crisp, and distinctly metallic finish is desired, different from any gold‑based shades.

The thickness of the silver leaf is defined by its corresponding weight of 28 grams per 1,000 leaves, resulting in a stronger yet still flexible sheet suitable for precise work. Thanks to its adaptability, the material conforms exceptionally well to intricate surfaces, inlays, wooden decorations, picture frames, and sculptural details.

Loose leaves are recommended both for decorating inlaid surfaces and for silvering smooth surfaces using the oil gilding technique. They can also be used in water gilding when a polished, refined finish is required.

Pure silver produces a bright, cool, and neutrally metallic effect, ideal for projects requiring a silvery, modern, and visually light appearance.
