This Citron Light Gold Leaf is 18 carat gold, genuine gold metal that has been beaten incredibly finely to form gossamer thin sheets for oil gilding.

The Citron Light Gold Leaf is sold in booklets of 25 sheets, and is available either as transfer leaf, printed on lightly greased parchment paper (which can be easily grasped with your fingers and cut into the desired format with scissors) or as loose leaf, which sits loosely between thin rouged paper sheets. Loose gold leaf is incredibly delicate and is too fine to be handled by hand, when working with loose leaf you must make use of a gilders tip in order to pick up the gold.
