Our Mission:
The mission of the Gilded Leaf Company is to reintroduce the elegance of the gilded age by making various gilded architectural accents available in numerous sizes and styles from various architectural periods.

Our Philosophy:
The utmost care goes into the creation of each gilded and hand-painted element. It has been said that the angels on the cherub medallion are so life-like, they look like they could speak to you.
Gilding is a very labor intensive, time-honored tradition that requires meticulous attention to detail. There have been suggestions to speed-up the process using faux finishes or composition leaf for the sake of profitability, but we will not compromise quality for profits. Composition leaf, sometimes called composition gold or Dutch metal, consists of approximately 85% copper and 15% zinc and does NOT contain any gold. The use of composition leaf would be deceptive and is not acceptable, except as a specific request by a client. There is a very noticeable difference between real gold verses composition leaf and the composition leaf will tarnish (turn black as it oxidizes).
