Mop brushes for gilding

Mops are most often used to dust skewings from gilded surfaces. Mop brushes are available in squirrel hair, black goat and ox hair. Choose from a wide variety of sizes and shapes.

Soft squirrel hair mops are used for real gold leaf surfaces without danger of scratching the leaf.

Black goat hair mops are firm enough to tamp and dust metal leaf and are not recommended for delicate genuine gold leaf.

Oval shaped mops are most suited for use on ornate or shaped surfaces and square mops are most effective when used on a flat surface.

Pointed mops are designed for applying "gilders liquor" during the traditional water gilding or Kolner Gilding System process.
