Giusto Manetti Battiloro Gold Leaf Books - 80 x 80 mm 14 g White Gold 12 k Loose 25 Leaves

Gold leaf. A traditional material intended for professional restoration, craft, and artistic gilding. The Golden Leaf Loose sheets in White Gold with a fineness of 12 karats represent a very light, cool shade of gold characterized by a silvery‑white tone. This color is created by using an alloy with a significantly higher proportion of silver and other white metals, giving the material a bright, clean, and neutrally appearing finish. The White Gold shade looks elegant and modern, ideal wherever a white, subtly metallic effect is desired—distinct from traditional yellow or warm gold.

The thickness of the gold leaf is defined by the standardized weight of 14 grams per 1,000 leaves, resulting in a very fine, flexible sheet suitable for precise work.

Loose leaves are ideal for water gilding (poliment gilding), where they allow the creation of a smooth, highly polished surface. They can also be used for oil gilding on properly prepared smooth substrates.

The 12‑karat fineness provides a firm, durable, and stable material, while the lower proportion of pure gold further enhances its characteristic light, cool tone. This shade is popular in decorative, artistic, and restoration applications where the goal is to achieve a clean, bright, and neutrally appearing metallic finish with high aesthetic precision.
