MIDAS TOUCH by Shehzad Khan
Bringing Timeless Luxury to Every Surface
Serving clients across Mumbai, India, we specialize in genuine gold leaf gilding, imitation leaf work, water gilding, oil gilding, finishing, and sealing – blending traditional techniques with contemporary design vision.
Genuine Gold Leaf – Unmatched Brilliance and Longevity
Genuine gold leaf is crafted from real gold, often 22–24 karats, beaten into ultra-thin sheets.
At MIDAS TOUCH, we use only the highest quality leaf for architectural accents, frames, sculptures, signage, and luxury interiors. The benefits include:
Timeless beauty – retains its lustre for decades.
Corrosion resistance – gold never tarnishes.
Prestige – associated with luxury and heritage.
Whether you need pure gold leaf for heritage restoration or custom decorative projects, our craftsmanship ensures flawless application.
Imitation Leaf – Affordable Elegance
When projects call for the look of gold without the expense, imitation gold leaf (also called composition leaf) is a beautiful alternative.
Made from copper-zinc alloys, it delivers a warm metallic sheen at a fraction of the cost.
Applications:
Wall panels and ceilings
Retail displays
Furniture detailing
Event and stage backdrops
We expertly tone and seal imitation leaf so it retains its shine and resists tarnishing.
Water Gilding – The Art of Perfection
Water gilding is the most prestigious and traditional gilding method, ideal for museum-quality restoration and fine art frames.
It involves applying gold leaf over a clay bole surface using water-based adhesive, then burnishing to a mirror finish.
At MIDAS TOUCH, our water gilding services in Mumbai combine centuries-old European techniques with meticulous attention to detail – producing deep, luminous finishes that cannot be replicated by modern shortcuts.
Oil Gilding – Versatile and Durable
Oil gilding uses an oil-based adhesive (size) to attach gold or imitation leaf to a wide range of surfaces – wood, metal, glass, stone, and more.
This method is perfect for outdoor signage, architectural lettering, and large decorative panels because of its durability.
Our oil gilding process ensures:
Strong adhesion in Mumbai’s humid climate
Consistent, streak-free metallic coverage
Long-lasting brilliance with minimal maintenance
Finishing & Sealing – Protecting Your Investment
After gilding, we offer finishing and sealing to ensure your gold leaf or imitation leaf retains its beauty for years.
We use premium clear coats, waxes, or lacquers tailored to your project’s location and purpose.
Why sealing matters:
Prevents tarnish (for imitation leaf)
Shields against fingerprints and abrasion
Enhances depth and metallic glow
Professional Tools & Expertise
Our work is supported by a complete range of specialist gilding tools – gilders’ tips, agate burnishers, gilder’s pads, and precision knives – allowing perfect application in every project.
At MIDAS TOUCH by Shehzad Khan, artistry meets technical skill, ensuring each stroke of gold leaf is applied with accuracy and elegance.
