ITALIAN VARIEGATED SHADE 272 LOOSE

Loose leaf

25 leafs

Size 140 x 140 mm

A slightly better quality than the standard variegated leaf and available in many more shades of colour. Again this is Copper Leaf and Imitation Gold Leaf that has been treated with chemicals and acids to produce a random coloured pattern on the leaf.

All shades of variegated leaf are only for interior use only as they will tarnish / verdigris and will need sealing with a universal lacquer or varnish. The gilding process is the same of when using Genuine Gold Leaf, a gilding size is thinly applied to the surface and once a dry tack, like a tack of a post-it note, it is then ready to take the Leaf.
