Product Information
Genuine Silver Leaf. The silver leaf is beaten mechanically by machines through thousands of repetitions, mauling it to a thin layer of silver.
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″).

Just finished a chair makeover and the silver leaf detailing came out incredible. Static is real though, had pieces flying everywhere!

Applied this to a carved wood headboard I found at an estate sale and it completely transformed it. Took me a whole weekend working slowly and carefully but SO worth it.

I bought this to restore an antique vanity tray that belonged to my grandmother. The silver leaf itself is gorgeous and has a lovely authentic metallic finish. However, I went through about half the book just practicing because it’s so delicate and kept tearing on me. I used the gilder’s paste that was recommended and it worked okay but took some trial and error. The final result on the vanity tray is stunning though, and I got so many compliments when I posted it on my DIY group. Would recommend but give yourself extra time and patience.

These work beautifully in resin. I sprinkle them in and they create the most amazing shimmer effect. Much better than glitter because they have that authentic metallic look. The package has plenty for multiple projects too.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong but these sheets just disintegrate when I try to position them.

These are really fragile and I wasted a few sheets learning how to handle them, but once I figured it out they worked great.
