Bring shine to gilding with a Divolo agate burnisher. The smooth natural agate is mounted in a brass ferrule on a varnished chestnut wood handle. You receive one burnishing tool in your chosen number. Metal leaf, bole and adhesive are needed separately.

Choose the shape and dimensions

Choose for the contact shape and the space you need to reach. Curved models reach different parts of a profile from the broad shapes No. 12, 16 and 18. Compare the photograph with your workpiece; the number identifies a model, rather than an abrasive grit. The measurements below give overall length, stone length, stone width or diameter and handle diameter, in cm.

  • No. 1: overall 22.5; stone length 2; stone diameter 0.5; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 2: overall 23.7; stone length 3; stone diameter 0.8; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 3: overall 24; stone length 3.5; stone diameter 0.8; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 4: overall 24.5; stone length 3; stone diameter 1; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 5: overall 25.2; stone length 3.6; stone diameter 1; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 6: overall 25; stone length 4; stone diameter 0.9; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 11: overall 24.2; stone length 3; stone diameter 1; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 12: overall 22.5; stone length 2; stone width 4; handle diameter 2.5 cm.
  • No. 16: overall 22.3; stone length 1.3; stone width 2; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 18: overall 23; stone length 2.5; stone width 6; handle diameter 2.5 cm.
  • No. 20: overall 22.5; stone length 3.5; stone diameter 0.7; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 28: overall 24.5; stone length 3; stone diameter 0.8; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 30: overall 23; stone length 2; stone diameter 1; handle diameter 2 cm.
  • No. 33: overall 24; stone length 2.5; stone diameter 0.5; handle diameter 2 cm.

Burnishing gilded surfaces

The stone is intended for smoothing and polishing gold, silver and imitation leaf. In traditional water gilding over bole, use a suitable, sufficiently dry base that can support the pressure. The stone brings existing leaf to a shine; it does not apply metal. Match timing and pressure to the adhesive, leaf and base, and test imitation leaf separately.

Compare a burnished sample

Gild a sample with the same layer structure as your project. Leave one strip unburnished and burnish an adjacent strip with light, controlled movements. View the difference in sheen from the same angle and check that the leaf does not move or suffer damage. Change one factor at a time, such as pressure or waiting time, and record the useful combination before treating your actual piece.

Care and storage

Check the contact surface for dirt, damage and unevenness before starting. Store the stone protected from knocks and contact with other tools, and keep the burnishing face clean. This helps prevent dirt or a damaged edge from scratching delicate metal leaf. Do not use the tool as a scraper.
