Genuine, not imitation copper leaf
NOTE!! 100% Genuine Copper leaf. However, it will oxidize when exposed to air and/or heat. After application it is necessary to coat the finished product with a coating to prevent it from oxidizing.
Larger gold leaf sheets than typical
Please also note that our leaves are industrial class copper sheets. The sizes are almost 4 times as large as other copper leaf sheets you see on the internet (usually their size is 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" but it is claimed to be approximately 2" x 2").

I bought an ugly thrift store mirror and used this copper leaf to completely transform it. The process was actually kind of meditative – carefully applying each sheet and watching it come to life. I used sizing adhesive and let it get tacky before applying the leaf. A few sheets tore but that almost added to the antique look. Now it’s the centerpiece of my entryway and everyone thinks I paid a fortune for it.

I bought this to update some old picture frames and decorative items around my house, and I’m thrilled with the results. The copper leaf gives everything such a rich, luxurious look. It’s easier to apply than I thought it would be, though you do need to work carefully and patiently. I found that having a soft brush handy to press down the leaf into corners and crevices was really helpful. The finished pieces look expensive and custom-made. Several friends have asked me where I bought the ‘new’ items!

Plenty of sheets in the pack and the quality is solid.

Much better than metallic paint. The real metal surface reflects light in a way paint just can’t match.

I’m an art teacher and ordered this for a student gilding project. The kids were amazed at how different real metal leaf looks compared to metallic paint or foil. It’s delicate to work with so I’d recommend it for older students or adults, but the results are absolutely stunning. We used it on clay sculptures and the copper developed a beautiful patina over time.
