Thanks for your additional comment Giovanni.

Where the kinatah work is only gold foil I would be reluctant to touch it with just about anything, even when it looks good and not heavily rusted, but there is also much heavier kinatah work that uses either very heavy gold over an iron carved figure, or heavy carved gold. With this type of work I believe your electric method could be fairly safe with any except the worst of corrosion.
