A genuine agate burnisher at a very affordable price, I imported this from China where they have been gilding for many centuries, it is less than half the price of burnishers currently available. Price £13.99
These gilding knives will last for generations, they are made from the finest Sheffield steel. Price £13.99 shipping included
I have made these gilding cushions myself. Measuring 9" x 6" the leather is not only glued, but riveted in position with brass rivets. The leather I chose is particularly dense and tough. It will last many years. Price £34.99
This is the new glaire manufactured by J.Hewit & Sons Ltd in England. It's water based so poses no problem from fumes unlike the other popular shellac based glair. This is the size you need for gilding onto leather. It is easy to apply with a brush or cotton wool pad, you can also leave this glaire once applied and come back weeks later if needed to do the gilding.
Price £8.99 including shipping temporarily out of stock
50g of Fine grade pumice powder, this is essential for keeping the gilding cushion free of grease. Price £8.50 including shipping
If you are new to gilding on leather I suggest using this economical leaf with which to practice upon. It has to be handled in the same way as genuine gold leaf, and this leaf will adhere to leather in the same way when used with a suitable glaire.

I have put together a very
nice gilding kit, the kit comprises a solid hard wood
hinged box.
Imitation gold leaf is a
vastly under rated material, I used it all the time in our
workshops for a variety of things. It
comes in various shades, the one I
sell here is a very close match to 23 carat gold leaf in
colour.
