Gold leaf for professional restoration
Restoration requires more than a bright finish. The leaf, surface preparation, application technique and finish must suit the historical object, intended use and storage conditions. We offer genuine and imitation gold leaf for professional restorers, conservation workshops, gilders and institutions restoring artworks and decorative elements.
Genuine or imitation gold for restoration
Choose genuine gold leaf when a project requires precious metal and a close match to existing gilding. Imitation gold leaf can suit reconstructions, scenery replicas, educational models and decorative interior elements where authenticity is not a conservation requirement. Plan a protective finish because imitation leaf can oxidise and change colour.
Restoration applications
Metal leaf can be used on picture and mirror frames, carved wood, furniture, mouldings, sculptures, icons, altars and architectural details. Test compatibility with existing layers, the substrate, adhesive and cleaning method. For cultural heritage objects, follow the conservation plan and professional project requirements.
Quotes for professional workshops
Include the object, substrate, approximate surface area, indoor or outdoor use, desired tone, sheet format and quantity. We can discuss genuine or imitation leaf, suitable packaging and application materials.
Frequently asked questions
Is imitation leaf suitable for every restoration project?
No. Materials used on protected or valuable objects must follow conservation requirements. Imitation leaf is more appropriate for decorative reconstructions and projects that do not require authentic precious metal.
