Platinum Leaf
SeppLeaf Products pure platinum leaf is a precious, non-tarnishing, silver-grey leaf available in various sizes and thicknesses to respond to all application needs. Platinum leaf is available in loose and transfer (patent) leaf formats, as well as rolls. Leaves are always applied using the oil gilding technique. Platinum leaf can be used for interior and exterior gilding.
Platinum is a rare, lustrous, silver-grey metal with subtle warmth, highly valued by gilders for its non-tarnishing properties and enduring stability. As a noble metal, platinum resists oxidation (does not tarnish) and maintains its color over time, making it an excellent choice for both interior and exterior applications.
Platinum is prized for its strength, permanence, and refined metallic character, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional silver finishes with a softer, more nuanced tone.
Sepp Leaf Products offers platinum leaf in a range of sizes and thicknesses to accommodate a wide variety of gilding applications. It is available in loose leaf (surface) and transfer leaf (patent), formats, allowing artists, gilders, and finishers to select the form best suited to their working method and level of detail. Loose leaf is ideal for intricate or uneven surfaces, while transfer leaf is suited for smooth, flat applications requiring greater control.
Platinum leaf is applied using the oil gilding technique, with oil, water-based, varnish-based, or alcohol-based sizes serving as the adhesive layer depending on the project requirements.
Platinum Leaf is well suited for:
• Exterior gilding and exposed environments
• Architectural accents and finishes
• Frames and fine art applications
• Decorative and contemporary surfaces
