GOLD
Gold leaf is a very thin sheet of beaten gold, it is widely used for decoration and restoration, through the gilding technique, on the surface of different artistic objects, for example in sculptures, icons, altarpieces, goldsmithing, furniture and architectural surfaces, both outdoors and indoors. Gold leaf comes in sheets that are extremely thin, and are obtained by hammering gold plates, or by constant pressure using rollers. Authentic fine gold leaf sheets are cut into a fine suede pad. The cut is made with a special wide-bladed gilder's knife that serves as a shovel to collect the gold from the booklet to the pad; Once the gold has been cut to the required size, it is raised and transferred to the object to be gilded, using a flat sable brush.
We also have fake or imitation gold leaf, it is thicker and although it looks very similar to real gold leaf, it is made of an alloy of copper, tin or zinc. Being thicker it is much easier to work with, you can even grab and place it with your hands. Unlike fine gold -made of real gold- these sheets tend to suffer the effects of corrosion of the metals that compose them, which create patinas and oxides of various shades other than gold; To avoid these effects, it is necessary to give it a finish with a transparent varnish that isolates it from moisture.
It comes in booklets of 25 sheets, separated by tissue paper and measuring approx 8 x 8 cm. and 16 x 16 cm
