Our 24.00 karat Gold and 24kt Patent Gold (Transfer Leaf) are made from 100% pure Gold, delivering the ultimate in richness, brilliance, and color purity. This uncompromised gold leaf produces a deep, radiant yellow-gold tone unmatched in luminosity and is the traditional choice for the finest water gilding, burnishing, and conservation-grade work.

We offer a selection of gram weights to suit different project demands and gilding techniques. Gram weight is defined as the weight of 1,000 standard 3 3/8" square leaves and should be understood as a measure of leaf density rather than thickness. Each leaf is beaten to an ultra-thin standard of approximately 0.5 microns.

Loose Gold — Loose 24kt Gold leaf is interleaved between sheets of thin, lightly rouged paper, allowing individual leaves to be lifted cleanly without disturbing the rest of the book. Loose leaf is traditionally handled with a gilder’s tip (a flat natural-hair brush) and is the preferred choice for water gilding, high-burnish finishes, iconography, and museum-quality restoration where maximum brilliance and purity are essential.

Patent Gold (Transfer Leaf) — 24kt Patent Gold leaf, also known as transfer leaf, is mounted to a special tissue paper using a pressure process. Each leaf-and-tissue unit is interleaved with thin rouged paper, enabling clean, consistent single-sheet removal. Transfer leaf offers added control, making it ideal for larger areas, straight runs, smooth substrates, and applications requiring precise placement with minimal handling.
