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″).

Was worried they’d be damaged in shipping but they were well packaged. Used them on a mirror frame.

I teach art at a high school and bought these for an advanced class project on gilding techniques. The students loved working with real silver leaf instead of the imitation stuff. Yes, they’re fragile and yes, we wasted some sheets as kids learned proper handling, but that’s part of the learning process. The quality is excellent and the finished student projects looked museum-worthy. I appreciated how well-packaged they arrived. Will definitely order again for future classes.

I use this for medieval manuscript reproduction and it grinds down nicely for paint. Excellent quality.

I’ve been experimenting with adding silver leaf accents to my pottery pieces before firing and the results are just magical. I know you’re supposed to use special ceramic metallics but I’ve had good success with this on unfired greenware when I seal it properly afterward. The sheets are thin enough to conform to curved surfaces which is exactly what I needed. I did have one book where several sheets were torn but the seller replaced it immediately with no hassle. The shimmer catches light beautifully and adds such an elegant touch to otherwise simple pieces.

Used this on an old dresser I was refinishing and it looks amazing! A little tricky to apply at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s totally worth it.

A few sheets were torn when it arrived but most were fine. Does what it should.

Beautiful shine but little pieces go everywhere when you’re working with it.

Actually worked really well once I figured out the technique.
