French cut leaf has always been widely used by French gilders, who apply it directly from the booklet without the use of tools. It is available in an 84 x 84 mm format in various shades of gold as well as in palladium in the 80 x 80 mm format. This type of leaf is distinguished by the fact that the leaves extend to the edge of the booklet, requiring considerable skill and specific expertise for its application. Each booklet contains 25 leaves.
