The listing, *Pre WWII* Pure 24k Gold ITALY Pure Silver JAPAN Leaf Book Cut Nice Rare! has ended.
This gold and silver was used 75+ years ago by a painter and frame-maker, the artist died in WWII. I feel that much of this gold and silver is from the turn of the century, but I can only date it pre-1943.
This is a fresh cut from one of his gold and silver books.
The luster from this vintage gold leaf is so great there's no words for it. Beautiful, breathtaking, fascinating these words don't do it justice. It gives of a radiance that modern leaf can not. Modern leaf is machine manufactured as where this gold leaf and gold leaf for thousands of years before it was pounded out by skilled gold-beaters, a process lost with today's modern industrialism.
This particular piece "Was" marked Made in ITALY, with an estimated 25 sheets(appears to be all sheets in tact!), next to a quarter in the picture you can see the size.
