Dutch Metal is also commonly known as Imitation Gold Leaf. The easiest kind to handle is "Transfer Leaf" commonly available as small sheets or in rolls. The leaf is supported on a backing tissue until put into place. Lots of it on eBay etc. Needs a little practice, tutorials on You Tube. Imitation leaf will require varnishing after completion or it will oxidise and discolour.
