Giusto Manetti Battiloro Gold Leaf Booklet - 80 x 80 mm 14 g Red Gold 23 kt Loose 25 Leaves

Gold leaf. A high‑quality material intended for professional restoration, craftsmanship, and decorative gilding. Traditional Gold Leaf Loose in the Red Gold shade with a fineness of 23 karats is characterized by a warm, intense red‑gold tone with a more pronounced copper undertone. This color profile is typical of historical gilded elements, iconographic work, classical architecture, and decorative applications where a richer, deeper, and warmer gold effect is required.

The thickness and strength of the gold leaf are defined by the standardized weight of 14 grams per 1,000 leaves. This ultra‑fine thickness provides exceptional softness and flexibility. The leaves adapt perfectly even to the most delicate surface details, grooves, and textures, making them ideal for use on wood, inlaid surfaces, picture frames, stuccoes, and intricate decorative elements.

Loose leaves are ideal for water gilding on bole, where they allow achieving a smooth, highly polished surface. They can also be used for oil gilding on prepared smooth substrates.

Thanks to the delicacy and purity of 23‑karat gold, the leaves create an even covering effect and an authentic, handcrafted appearance typical of traditional historical techniques. The product is ideal for restorers, decorative artisans, and creators who require precise results and a specific warm, red‑gold tone for both heritage restoration and new works.
