There is very little written about the origins of imitation gold leaf. I am of the opinion that probably originated during the industrial era.
Allé Meanwhile a new middle class was emerging and creating demand for labor cheaper.
There many examples of gilt frames of the 19th century Dutch employ sheet. A catalog of the Universal Exhibition of 1851 contained several suppliers 23 carats and Dutch metal leaf.
Alloys used in the production of this piece of gold have nothing to do with the malleability gold, I'm sure some type of mechanical or hydraulic press would be necessary to produce leaves.
Foil in the Dutch language is known by several names, imitation gold leaf, composition gold leaf, gold, Netherlands and Germany Schlagmetal called.
The blade is available in a range of different alloys to create different shades.
No. 1 is a deep red, made of an alloy of 10% zinc and copper 90%.
No. 2 is red / gold color, made of an alloy of 12% zinc and copper by 88%.
It has a 2 color similar to the 22K gold leaf, an alloy composed of 15% zinc and copper by 85%. It is the color that I recommend and use myself.
No. 3 is a yellow color, made of an alloy of 18% zinc and copper by 82%.
These alloys when combined, resemble greatly to the good looks of real metals into gold.
The thickness of the sheet is approximately 0.3 microns.
Each book of this gold leaf contains 25 sheets of about 5 inches square.
When the real gold leaf is used outdoors must be protected by a transparent varnish, sheet metal in the Dutch language is the same, shall be protected by a lacquer to avoid mist.
Gold leaf is an imitation of folk crafts materials, is the basis of a wide range of antique finishes and distress.
For twenty five years my wife and I ran a system of craft workshops in Somerset, England. In 1995 the workshops were nominated a National Living Treasure, for the workshops contribution to the Book Arts.
As well as bookbinding, paper marbling and craft printing, the workshops possessed several ancillary skills including gilding and silver smithing.
