Imitation Gold leaf (also known as Dutch Metal leaf or Shlag Metal )
The metals used to create the imitation gold leaf are an alloy of copper and zinc. Aluminum leaf is an
alternative to silver leaf and whereas imitation gold leaf has to be varnished to prevent it from tarnishing,
aluminum leaf needs no protection at all.
Imitation leaf is used mainly for framing and furniture and quite widely used nowadays for use in interiors as wall decoration or on decorative items. Metal leaf is thicker than genuine gold leaf and therefore a lot easier to handle.
Above picture shows flat gold metal piece, their color and physical properties are similar to real gold leaf. It can be used in many artworks i.e. decorate furniture, antique, photo frame, book bindings, art & craft, sculpture and multi-purpose.
Although, imitation gold leaf is cheaper than authentic gold leaf, it is no substitute for authentic gold leaf in the majority of restoration techniques and is mainly used for less prestigious projects.
The imitation gold leaf is not suitable for high temperature works and it can not be eaten because it made from mixture metal, not pure gold. Then it can not be decorated on cake or any food. Moreover,
fake gold sellers can not guarantee its safety.

Be careful!!!
A tremendous demand of gold leaf for sealing on the object push the price of gold leaf 50% higher than it was.
There are some selfish and unreliable gold leaf sellers, who sell imitation gold leaf as authentic gold leaf.
They promote this fake gold leaf is real gold leaf which is suitable for handicraft and artworks.
Because of the appearance of imitation gold leaf is very similar to the authentic gold leaf, it is too difficult to identify
which is genuine. Easy way to test it is an authentic gold leaf or not , by melting this metal. If it is a genuine gold leaf,
its color will not be changed. If its color turns into dark color, it is an imitation gold leaf.
Please avoid the immoral sellers. Or if you’ve already purchased the fake gold, you should refund and give
them negative feedback. | | |

Genuine gold is the oldest form of beaten metal with the ancient Egyptians technique. The craft of the real gold beater involves converting precious metals, such as gold and silver, into extremely thin leaves. Manually, it was a slow and hard task requiring total control of the hammer and great precision of the eye. All the other phases of the production process are done by hand by skilled and experienced workers.
Loose leaf is extremely thin leaves of 24K gold sitting between thin rouged paper. This leaf cannot be handled directly as it tears easily and sticks to the skin. It has to be picked up with a special thin, flat brush made of soft squirrel hair called a Gilders Tip. Transfer leaf is the same gold as loose leaf but it is lightly pressed onto the backing paper allowing easier handling.

Gold in the form of a thin leaf is an item valued for its purity as a religious offering and for its power to placate spirits and request favours. Postage-stamp-size booklets of gold leaves are always on sale along with incense, flowers and candles at temples and shrines for use as daily offerings.
One way for Thai Buddhists to show their respect for a person or concept is to make merit by affixing small squares of gold leaf onto images of Buddha or other sacred objects.
Even the act of making gold leaf earns merit for individuals. Sheets of gold are pounded to .000005 of an inch. The leaves of gold are made by two poundings with wooden mallets. It takes about five hours of hammering to complete one pouch of gold leaf. Then the job passes to the delicate hands of young girls to slice up squares of 2.5 centimetres and put them on waxed paper and stacked in booklets ready to sell.
The traditional painting technique continued into the Bangkok period, when colours became richer thanks to pigments imported from China. Around the middle of the 19th century, artists began using chemical pigments and Western perspective. Spatial values were eschewed for atmospheric effects, and opulent gold leaf and bold primary colours radically altered the delicate harmony of the old subdued earth colours. |
