23kt Ribbon Gold Leaf Roll - 1 1/4" (31mm) x 20m - Manetti Italian

23kt Ribbon Gold Leaf Roll – 1 1/4" (31mm) x 20m – Manetti Italian Premium Italian 23kt gold leaf in convenient ribbon form. This 20-meter roll features individual leaves measuring 1 1/4" x 4 1/8" (31mm), pre-adhered to lightweight paper with a continuous 67-foot length. Ribbon leaf differs from patent leaf—the gold is bonded to paper using wax during rolling, making it ideal for flat surfaces with oil or synthetic sizing. The paper backing prevents the leaf from settling into ornate details or recessed areas, offering controlled application for gilding projects. Each standard roll measures 104mm (4-1/8 inch) width with leaves overlapped by 2mm for seamless coverage. Store in stable temperature and humidity conditions to maintain leaf integrity—excessive dryness may loosen the leaf, while high heat and humidity can cause over-adhesion to the backing paper.
