Gold leaf pricing depends on material, karat or alloy, format, quantity, coverage, and current availability. Use the Quote Basket for a current quote.
Real gold leaf has material value because it contains gold, but an individual leaf is extremely thin and contains very little metal.
The practical value of gold leaf is usually in the finished surface: color, reflectivity, durability, restoration accuracy, and the skill of the gilding. Scrap leaf may have some precious-metal value, but loose fragments, skewings, and waste are hard to value without weight and purity.
Imitation gold leaf, Dutch gold, composition leaf, and metallic foil do not have the same precious-metal value as genuine gold leaf. Always distinguish real karat gold leaf from gold-colored decorative materials.
Gold leaf cost depends on karat, alloy color, leaf format, brand, size, quantity, precious-metal pricing, coverage, waste, and project requirements.
Material price, project material estimates, and installed gilding cost are different questions. A finished project can include prep, repair, priming, sizing, tack timing, leafing, brushing, burnishing, sealing, access, labor, and after-care.
