It’s a basic, yet essential tool for those gilding with Loose or Transfer (Patent) leaf. The synthetic hairs are used in place of animal hair, meaning there were no animals harmed in the process of making this brush.

Bought this brush to apply the 22K gold leaf to an engraved wood sign and it worked perfectly. The brush released the gold from the transfer sheet and helped apply to gold to the sizing without scratching the gold. (Other brushes I had at home scratched, even though I thought they were soft enough.)
