Gilder’s essential tools are a cushion and a knife. The cushion and knife are mainly used for gold and silver leaves to optimize the use of materials while minimizing waste. A light dusting of the leather surface with gypsum or ash obtained from rice straw minimizes the risk of the gold leaf adhesion to the cushion surface during cutting.

Gilders’ cushion

The gilder’s pad is needed for all genuine gold and silver leafs. On a rectangular wooden base, a layer of foam is covered with soft suede leather. The final result is a cushion with a rigid base, easy to handle, and a slightly convex and elastic surface. The leaf is picked up by the Gilders Tip and placed for cutting with the Gilders Knife.

Gilders’ knife

Gilders’ knife made of high-grade steel for cutting the gold and silver leafs on the gilders’ cushion. Before use, the blade has to be degreased carefully with Ethanol. Do not touch the blade to avoid greasing. The gilding knife is designed and created specifically for gilding and is essential for correctly applying gold leaf. Its sharp blade allows you to cut the gold leaf quickly and accurately into the appropriate dimensions for the decoration to be carried out.
