Manetti : Imitation Gold Leaf : Loose or Transfer

Manetti Imitation Gold Leaf offers the appearance of genuine gold while providing an economical alternative to precious metal leaf. Available in loose and transfer formats and in Colour 2 and Colour 2.5 shades, it is suitable for decorative gilding on a wide variety of prepared surfaces, including furniture, picture frames, artwork, and craft projects.

Manufactured in Italy, the imitation gold leaf is thicker than genuine metal leaf, making it easier to handle and apply for both beginners and experienced gilders. Loose leaf is well suited to intricate and carved surfaces, while transfer leaf is attached to a backing sheet for greater control when gilding larger or flatter surfaces. Once applied, the leaf should be protected with a suitable sealant to help extend the finish and reduce the risk of tarnishing.
