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.
Other uses of genuine gold leaf
Gold leaf is applied in interior design (decorating walls), exterior renovation such as domes in churches, figurines, furniture restorations, signage, signboards, photo frames, scrapbooking, and other craftwork.
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″).

Used it on a small statue, came out well.

Been using this brand for a while now, consistent quality.
Rachel –
A little tricky to work with but that’s gold leaf for you.
Chris Thompson –
For what you pay, this is excellent. I’ve used more expensive brands and honestly can’t tell much difference. The sheets are thin and delicate like they should be. I did a mirror frame and a small table and still have plenty left over. My only tip is to cut the sheets while they’re still in the book – way easier than trying to handle them loose.

A couple sheets were torn but most were fine.
Mark Anderson –

No issues, applied smoothly.
Patricia Williams –
I was nervous to try gold leafing for the first time but this product made it pretty easy. There’s definitely a learning curve and I wasted a couple sheets figuring it out, but by the third try I got the hang of it. The gold has a nice shine to it. Just be patient and work in a draft-free area because these sheets are super delicate.

The gold looks authentic and the coverage is good.
