Italian PALLADIUM Leaf

Available as loose leaf or transfer leaf. 

One booklet contains either 5 or 25 palladium leaves measuring 80 x 80mm. 

To cover an area of 1m² you will need 6.25 x 25 leaf books without wastage or overlapping. 

The amount of waste is determined by the gilder’s own level of expertise and depends on the complexity of the surface being gilded. Areas that area highly carved and intricate will require significantly more leaf than those that are flat (usually double). Please bear this in mind when calculating the area.

The palladium leaves contained in the transfer book are inter-leaved with waxed tissue paper, making them ideal for flat surfaces and exterior work. Transfer leaf is easier to handle than loose leaf and reduces wastage. 

Palladium Leaf is non-tarnishing and suitable for interior and exterior work without the need for varnishing.
