LOOSE LEAF

Loose leaf is literally extremely thin leaves of gold sitting between thin rouged paper. This leaf cannot be handled directly as it tears easily and sticks to the skin. It has to be picked up with a special thin,flat brush made of soft squirrel hair called a Gilders Tip. Loose leaf is used to gild onto moulded and embellished areas where the gold is required to sit in all the cracks and crevices. Loose leaf is also used for water gilding and in glassware.

TRANSFER LEAF

Transfer leaf is the same gold as loose leaf but it is lightly pressed onto the backing paper allowing easier handling. With transfer leaf, we offer a loose press, a standard press and have the facility to press the leaf tighter should you require. Transfer leaf is used for gilding onto flatter surfaces and areas that don't have any raised embellishments. It is used for signwork and for gilding outdoors or on ceilings and walls where the loose leaf would be far too difficult to handle.
