Product Information
Genuine Silver leaf. The silver leaf is beaten mechanically by machines through thousands of repetitions, mauling it to a thin layer of gold.
Other uses of genuine silver leaf
Silver leaf is applied in interior design (decorating walls), exterior renovation such as domes in churches, figurines, furniture restorations, signage, signboards, photo frames, mirrors, scrapbooking, and other craftwork.
Genuine, not imitation silver leaf
Genuine Silver Metal Leaf is made with 100% pure silver. There are other metal leaves out on the market that are called “silverleaf” because of their appearance, but they are in fact aluminum, and have ZERO silver in them. The industrial term for these leaves is called imitation silver leaf. These leaves are used for mass production of furniture and frames. The aluminum leaf has less luster, and has a “whiter” metallic look than the genuine silver—genuine silver has a warmer color tone.
Please note that genuine silver will change color over time. So if one is to use this product, it is necessary to varnish with a protective coating. Artists sometimes prefer the oxidized effects of the leaf and use it as part of its design.
Larger silver leaf sheets than typical
Please also note that our leaves are industrial class silver sheets. The sizes are almost 4 times as large as other 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″).

… und das Transfermaterial lässt sich zusammen mit dem Blattsilber auch sehr gut zuschneiden, was Material spart und beim Applizieren hilft.

After completely redecorating our dining room our lard brown wood mirror was totally out of place with the silvers and blues of the new French style. Still it was a large and expendive to replace. So she used the silver leaf. It took about 6 hours but came out great!
Next project is to add some highlights to the columns and ceiling medallion.
Remember to buy the adhesive for leafing. Beautiful stuff if you’ve never used it!

OK, so… the product itself is lovely. Packaging good, the patent is easy to work with, metal has a consistent thickness. All good there.
This stuff was a nightmare to get on the vellum. I tried gilder’s garlic, fish glue, Pink Stuff, Instacol (sp?), and Speedball Mona Lisa adhesive. It did NOT want to stick. Once the proper blood sacrifices and curse-laden incantations were made to the Gilding Fairies, I got it to stick with fish glue it was fine. Seal it or it will tarnish in a few months. It tends to be brittle, so be careful not to use it on something that will do a lot of bending. Should be great for framed artwork or picture frames.

I used the Genuine Silver Leaf Sheets to decorate a mirror frame. I purchased these primarily because they were listed as loose sheets and then for the cost. I needed just a couple more sheets to finish my project so I picked up a single pack of Martha Stewart brand at my local craft store. What a difference. Because my frame was highly detailed I preferred using the loose sheets so as to push the silver deep into the nooks and crannies. The Martha Stewart brand sheets have the silver leaf adhered to paper and must be firmly rubbed off to transfer the silver leaf. Needless to say unless your project is completely flat and smooth there is a lot of waste. Worth every penny ! And the results are a very shiny silver.

If you are trying to make silver pigment (with gold it would be called shell gold… would this be called shell silver?) for use in illumination or tezhip this is an excellent quality sheet for hand grinding your pigment. It breaks apart beautifully into fine granules in whatever mucilage you choose to use.
