Manetti : Imitation Silver : 140x140mm (Apx. 14x14cm) : 25 Transfer Leaves

Manetti Imitation Silver Transfer Leaves are imitation metal leaves supplied in 140 x 140mm sheets in books of 25. Available in both loose and transfer formats, they offer a larger leaf size than traditional genuine gold leaf and are designed for decorative gilding where easier handling and quicker coverage are useful.

Transfer leaf is chosen for its easy handling, making it suitable for beginners, large flat areas such as walls and furniture, and outdoor work where wind can be an issue. Because the metal leaf is lightly attached to tissue paper, it can be positioned without specialised tools, reducing tearing, creasing, and waste.

Because imitation leaf is thicker than genuine precious metal leaf, it is easier to handle and apply, making it suitable for both experienced gilders and beginners. Once applied, it should be protected using a dedicated sealant to help extend its life and reduce the risk of tarnishing.
