Giusto Manetti Battiloro Gold Leaf Books - 80 x 80 mm 14 g Pale Green Gold 16 kt Transfer 5 Leaves

Gold leaf. A traditional material intended for professional restoration, craft, and artistic gilding. The Golden Leaf Transfer sheets in Pale Gold (Light Green) with a fineness of 16 karats represent a light, gently cool shade of gold with a subtle greenish hue, created by using an alloy with a higher proportion of silver. This color tone appears delicate, elegant, and less saturated than traditional yellow gold. It is characterized by a clean, muted appearance that gives gilded surfaces a modern, harmonious, and visually light effect.

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.

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 accurate placement of the leaf onto the substrate, minimizes the risk of tearing, facilitates handling, and speeds up application.

The 16‑karat fineness ensures a stable, durable, and professional-quality material, while the lower proportion of pure gold in the alloy enhances its characteristic light, cooler tone. The Pale Gold shade is popular in decorative and artistic applications where a lighter, more neutral, and subtly greenish gold appearance is desired—distinct from classic yellow or warm gold tones.
