Dauvet Loose Leaf / Surface Leaf

Founded in 1825, Dauvet Gold Leaf represents the refinement of French gilding tradition, where generations of expertise and precision craftsmanship transform pure gold into exceptionally consistent, high-quality leaf trusted by artisans worldwide. A book of Dauvet Loose Gold Leaf—also known as Surface Gold Leaf—is carefully assembled by placing each delicate sheet of gold between interleaving pages of thin, lightly rouged paper. This traditional packaging method protects the fragile metal while allowing the gilder to lift and handle a single leaf at a time without disturbing the remaining sheets in the book.
