Giusto Manetti Battiloro Gold Leaf Books - 80 x 80 mm 14 g Lemon (Green) Gold 18 kt Loose 5 Leaves

Gold leaf. A traditional material designed for professional restoration, craft and artistic gilding. Golden Leaf Loose sheets in Lemon (green) Gold, with a purity of 18 carats, offer a distinctive shade of gold with a delicate, light tone characterised by a slight greenish tinge. This colour characteristic arises from the use of an alloy with a higher proportion of silver, which gives the gold a cooler, fresher and less saturated appearance. The Lemon Gold shade has a light, elegant visual effect and is popular for decorative applications where a lighter, more neutral and less yellow gold effect is required.

The thickness of the gold leaf is defined by a standardised weight of 14 grams per 1,000 leaves, resulting in a very fine, pliable leaf suitable for precision work.

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.

The 18-carat purity ensures a stable, durable and professional-quality material. Thanks to this metal composition, Lemon Gold leaves have a characteristic cool tone that differs from traditional yellow gold and gives gilded surfaces a subtle, modern and harmonious appearance.
