Dauvet Patent 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 Patent Gold Leaf—also known as Transfer Gold Leaf—is produced by adhering each delicate sheet of gold to a backing of special tissue paper through a controlled pressure process. This format allows the gilder to handle each leaf individually with ease, without disturbing the remaining sheets in the book, offering greater control and efficiency during application.

When handled and stored correctly, Patent Gold Leaf offers a reliable, efficient, and accessible gilding solution, combining traditional craftsmanship with practical functionality for both indoor and outdoor applications.
