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″).

You really need a steady hand for this. Static electricity is also an issue but the end result is worth the hassle.

I’ve been doing reverse glass gilding on vintage windows and these sheets work wonderfully. The silver has a cool tone that looks gorgeous behind glass with light coming through. I’ve tried a few different brands and these are right in the middle quality-wise, which is perfect for my projects since I’m not doing museum-level restoration. They handle well with a gilding brush and don’t seem to tear more than any other brand I’ve used. The book has 25 sheets and I usually get about 20 usable applications from each book depending on the project size.

It’s okay. Gets the job done but very thin.
Rachel Martinez –
The metallic shine is just beautiful. Takes some practice but so worth it.

These sheets are super thin so handle carefully. Result is beautiful though!

This is real silver leaf, not imitation foil. Big difference in quality and appearance.
Christopher Allen –
I guess all metal leaf is this thin but still surprised me. Applied successfully once I figured out the technique.

These are EXTREMELY delicate. Like touching tissue paper except it disintegrates if you breathe on it wrong. That said, if you’re gentle and patient the effect is really nice.

Way cheaper than buying it at the craft store and same quality as far as I can tell.

The leaf itself is fine quality but dealing with the static was frustrating. They stick to the wax paper, your brush, your hands, everything.
