Product Information
22kt Genuine Gold leaf. The gold leaf is beaten mechanically by machines through thousands of repetitions, mauling it to a thin layer of gold.

Genuine, not imitation gold leaf
NOTE!! 22kt Gold has 22kt of Genuine Gold in the metal leaf. There are other metal leaves out on the market that are called “Goldleaf” because of their appearance, but they are in fact a copper zinc alloy, and have ZERO gold in them. The industrial term for these leaves is called imitation gold leaf, or composition leaf. These leaves are used for mass production of furniture and frames. However, they will oxidize and change color over time. You can test if they are composition leaf if you spray water or put vinegar on their raw surface (i.e. prior to putting on varnish or coatings).
Larger gold leaf sheets than typical
Please also note that our leaves are industrial class gold sheets. The sizes are almost 4 times as large as other gold leaf sheets you see on the internet (usually their size is 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ but it is claimed to be approximately 2″ x 2″).

You can see the difference between this and the fake metallic stuff immediately.

Used this on a picture frame and it looks fantastic. Very delicate but worth it.

My first time working with gold leaf and I was surprised how thin it is. Definitely watch some tutorials before starting because it tears really easily. I gilded a small wooden box and after a few failed attempts I got the hang of it. The end result is absolutely stunning and looks way more expensive than it was. Would recommend having extra sheets on hand for practice.

I’ve been doing decorative painting for about five years and finally decided to try real gold leaf instead of imitation. This product is the real deal and the difference is noticeable. I used it on a custom sign for a client and they were blown away. Yes it’s more expensive than fake leaf but the color depth and the way it catches light is incomparable. Just be patient with yourself and work in a draft-free area.

Does the job, looks great when finished.

Exactly what I needed for restoring an antique mirror.

Looks real because it is real. Can’t beat authentic gold leaf.

I restore old books as a hobby and needed gold leaf for spine lettering and decorative elements. This worked beautifully. The sheets are thin enough to conform to the curved spine but substantial enough that they don’t completely disintegrate when you handle them. The gold has that soft, warm antique look that suits older books perfectly. Came packaged well between tissue sheets.

I was nervous to try gilding but this stuff made it easier than I thought.
