Product Details:

Aurum gold leaf is our own brand of high quality leaf product. This leaf is manufactured specifically in the colors and weights that are standard in the industry. Different varieties of leaf, including double weight and silver, are packaged in the distinctive Aurum red box (pack of 20 books). This leaf is produced using the latest technology and respected traditions of the gold beating craft.

A book of loose gold leaf is assembled by placing each unit of gold leaf between sheets of thin rouged paper. The gilder can then remove one leaf at a time without disturbing the remaining leaves. It is removed from the book with a gilder's tip, a flat natural hair brush.

Our gold leaf is made in the standard European size of 80 x 80 mm (3.15 x 3.15 inches) and is available in units called "books," each book containing 25 leaves. For volume discounts order one or more boxes of gold leaf; each box contains 20 books or 500 leaves.

Order a gold leaf box you get a special pack price that saves you money.
