An emblematic material of the decorative arts and prestigious furniture, gold leaf embodies the brilliance of traditional craftsmanship. At Eben&Or, we use it sparingly and precisely, to reveal the beauty of a detail, emphasize a line, or sublimate a material.
Gold leaf comes in the form of extremely fine sheets of real gold, applied by hand using ancient techniques such as gilding with tempera or mixtion. This meticulous and demanding process requires a high degree of craftsmanship to achieve an even, luminous and long-lasting finish.
What makes gold leaf so noble is both its composition – a precious metal par excellence – and its visual effect: it captures light, warms surfaces and evokes a form of discreet, timeless luxury. It never covers randomly: it highlights, reveals and composes a sensitive narrative.
In cabinetmaking, it is often used on sculpted elements, marquetry or decorative panels. Its use requires a subtle balance: at Eben&Or, it never shouts. It whispers excellence, in a refined dialogue with wood and rare materials.
A unique creation always begins with an encounter.
