Do you know the main mistake that designers make when choosing Imitation gold leaf?
⠀
They think that they are saving money by buying cheap alternatives to Nazionale’s Metal Leafs.
⠀
Let’s calculate the real costs — you’ll be surprised at how much “savings” really cost.
⠀
The Real cost of 10 m² gilding:
⠀
🇮🇹 Nazionale
Gold leaf 16×16 cm, box of 10,000 sheets = €600
▸Cost per m²: €2.47
▸ Number of Leafs needed to cover 10 m²: 410 leafs
▸ Leaf cost for 10 m²: €24.67
▸ Gilder’s labor: €200
✅ Total: € 224.67
⠀
RESULT:
8+ years of flawless appearance
1-5% waste material during application
Client delighted with the result
⠀
🇨🇳 Affordable ALTERNATIVE
Gold leaf 16×16 cm, box of 10,000 sheets = €250
▸Cost per m²: €1.60
▸ Number of Leafs needed to cover 10 m²: 470 leafs*
▸ Leaf cost for 10 m²: €11.84
▸ Gilder’s labor: €250 (+25% time for defects)
⚠️ Total: €261.84
⠀
RESULT
Risk of rework (add €50-100)
Tarnish within 6 - 12 months
25% waste material and time during application
Stress from dissatisfied client
⠀
Why is Nazionale more cost-effective?
⠀
✔ Savings of ≈16 % (€37) on 10 m² — despite the “expensive” material
✔ No stress — no urgent corrections & fast delivery
✔ Reputation — projects you’ll be proud of for years.
⠀
When can you take a risk with an alternative?
⠀
▪️ If you are doing the work by yourself (but expect +30% time)
▪️ For temporary installations (where longevity doesn’t matter)
▪️ When the client insists on “maximum savings”
⠀
When is Nazionale the only choice?
⠀
▪️ Premium projects (where every detail is part of your portfolio)
▪️ Tight deadlines (when there’s no place or time for error)
▪️ Working with demanding clients (who values quality)
▪️ If your project required the application of patinas and acids.
⠀
Cheap Imitation gold leaf is like saving on the foundation: it seems like a win at first, but then you pay double.
⠀
Don’t take our word for it — check it yourself!
We’ll be glad to help you to choose the right material and calculate the cost for your project.
⠀
P.s.
The calculation based on approximate European prices, it is not including the cost of finishing & accessories.

🎥 This video shows part of the process of making the metal leaf at our factory in Milan.
⠀
We love opening the doors of our factory to clients.
We show the whole journey — from hammering the metal to packing the metal leaf in boxes — real production in Italy.
⠀
This is an important part of trust: seeing how the material that will become part of your project is actually made.
⠀
🛠 We don’t just make a metal leaf.
We create premium gilding materials that top designers choose for their most ambitious projects: luxury hotels and boutique interiors, art pieces, and historic restoration.
⠀
But we can see how some metal leaf sellers use this video in their social media to pretend they are producing this metal leaf. Some even sell cheap Chinese metal leaf and call it “Italian gold,” using our photos and our other marketing materials in their presentations.
⠀
Videos, photos, and even our logo on the box have been copied.
But they cannot copy our experience, traditions, and results.
⠀
In this situation, we are concerned about those who might be confused and believe it, choosing a counterfeit/ fake without knowing what’s behind it.
⠀
Just imagine:
a designer orders from the company that stole our video. They expect “Italian quality” but get… 📦 A box of cheap Chinese metal leaf.
It crumbles while applying, tarnishes quickly, and after six months — black spots appear on the walls.
⠀
Along with it comes:
– Extra work and costs to fix it
– A ruined project
– Damage to a reputation that took years to build
⠀
❌ No project is worth that risk.
✅ We stand for honesty and materials that look perfect not only on delivery day but for years.
🤝 We stand for partnerships where you’re never left alone with problems. From choosing the right shade to application advice — we’re here with you.
⠀
That’s why customers come back to us again and again.
⠀
📩 If you want to work safely and be proud of the results, write to us — and we’ll find the perfect solution for you.

The New York Public Library: How Nazionale Highest quality metal leaf became part of an architectural legend
⠀
“When The New York Public Library opened its doors in 1895, no one could have predicted that a century later, our metal leaf would become an integral part of its grandeur. ✨
⠀
- our partner for 50 years, offered our materials to gild this magnificent symbol of the culture and history of New York and the United States.
⠀
For me, as a representative of the fourth generation of Nazionale artisans who create premium gilding materials, this is an excellent opportunity to continue the legacy we are creating with respect for the past.
⠀
Being part of this project is not just a honor for us but also a big responsibility.
⠀
At Nazionale, we specialize in creating premium quality metal leaf that stand the test of time and meet the strict requirements of restorers and architects.
This is not just about gilding; it’s about precision, perfection, and respect for cultural heritage.
⠀
The metal leafs from Nazionale is a tool for creating long-lasting and durable solutions. We are proud that our materials become part of significant historical buildings where quality and longevity are crucial.
⠀
If you are an architect or restorer, and If your project requires the high quality metal leaf, contact us - we are ready to collaborate.”
