Gilding on marble and stone

Gold leaf for marble represents the ideal solution for those who want to add prestige, elegance, and artistic value to marble surfaces, transforming every project into a work of striking visual impact. Perfect for statues, columns, frames, and marble tops, gold leaf gilding allows for luminous, refined, and uniform effects, enhancing the natural beauty of marble veins and the depth of decorative details. Thanks to its professional quality, each gold leaf is selected to ensure uniformity, reduce imperfections, and simplify application, guaranteeing impeccable results on both small and large surfaces.
The application of gold leaf on marble can be carried out with traditional techniques, such as water gilding, using Stone size, a glue specifically designed for marble surfaces. Thanks to its professional formulation, Stone size adheres perfectly to natural stone, facilitating the application of gold leaf and ensuring a uniform and long-lasting gilding. Gold gilding not only enhances the marble’s aesthetics, highlighting veins and decorative details, but also adds an element of exclusivity and refinement that distinguishes every project, from historical restorations to modern creations.
For optimal results, gold leaf can be applied using professional tools specifically for marble, such as Canova brushes, which ensure precision and control in every detail, making gilding simple, effective, and visually impressive.

Gilding on stone is a refined and durable technique, ideal for enhancing both sculpted surfaces, such as engravings, and decorative details. In commemorative contexts, such as monuments and tombstones, the application of gold leaf highlights inscriptions and ornaments, adding light, relief, and timeless elegance. To ensure the longevity of the gilding, it is advisable to use gold leaf thicker than the standard, which provides better coverage and extended durability. Applying gold leaf on stone always requires the use of a specific size to promote lasting adhesion.
