Giusto Manetti Battiloro Gold Leaf Books Bladguld 80 x 80 mm 13 g White Gold 6 kt Transfer 5 Leaves

Gold leaf. A traditional material intended for professional restoration, craft, and artistic gilding. The Golden Leaf Transfer sheets in White Gold with a fineness of 6 karats represent the lightest and coolest shade within the category of gold alloys. They are characterized by a distinctly silvery‑white tone, created by using an alloy with a very high proportion of silver and other white metals, while the content of pure gold is low. This color produces a bright, clean, and neutrally appearing metallic look that is visually closer to silver than to traditional gold. The shade appears modern, minimalist, and elegant. Thanks to its brightness and cool tone, it is popular in decorative and artistic applications where a white, clean metallic effect is desired, without any yellow or warm coloration.

The thickness of the gold leaf is defined by the standardized weight of 13 grams per 1,000 leaves, resulting in a finer and more flexible sheet suitable for detailed work. Thanks to its flexibility, the material adapts exceptionally well to intricate surfaces, inlays, wooden decorations, picture frames, and sculptural elements.

Transfer leaves are attached to a sheet of silk paper. This format is intended exclusively for oil gilding, especially on smooth surfaces and for exterior gilding. The supporting silk paper enables precise placement of the leaf onto the substrate, minimizes the risk of tearing, facilitates handling, and speeds up application.

The 6‑karat fineness provides a firm, stable, and durable structure, while the low gold content further enhances its characteristic light, almost silvery appearance. This shade is suitable for projects requiring neutral, cool, and visually light metallic tones, distinct from all traditional gold shades.
