Champagne Italian Foil 5.5 Inch - Thick Leaf for Furniture & Gilding

Champagne Italian Foil 5.5 Inch, Thick Imitation Leaf for Furniture, Frames, Glass, and Resin Gilding

This champagne Italian foil is premium imitation leaf, prized for being thicker and sturdier than standard gold leaf. That extra thickness is what makes it special: you can pick up each 5.5 x 5.5 inch sheet by hand and lay it down without it tearing, which is ideal for gilding furniture, picture frames, glass, metal, ornaments, and other dimensional surfaces. The rich champagne tone also works beautifully in resin art and decor, giving a luxe metallic finish at a fraction of the cost of real gold leaf.

A: On furniture, picture frames, glass, metal, ornaments, and dimensional surfaces, where its thickness makes it easy to handle. It also works well in resin art and decor.

Q: Is it real gold?
A: No. This is premium imitation leaf made from a brass composite, which gives the gold-leaf look at a fraction of the cost. It needs sealing to prevent tarnish.
