Product Information
23kt 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!! 23kt Gold has 23kt 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″).

Been wanting to try gold leafing for years and this was the perfect product to start with. Used it on a wooden tray and now it looks like something from a boutique store. The technique takes a little practice but the leaf itself is quality material. Came well packaged so none of the sheets were damaged. I’m already planning my next gilding project!

I used this to add gold details to a mixed media canvas I was working on and the effect is exactly what I wanted. The leaf is extremely delicate so I worked in sections and kept my hands steady. A little goes a long way and the warm tone complements other metallics well. I did waste a couple sheets while learning the technique but overall got great coverage. The finished piece has depth and texture that paint alone couldn’t achieve.

Color is warm and rich, not fake looking.
