Description
A solid cast steel acanthus leaf, 130mm wide and 240mm tall, with the stem sweeping out to the right at the foot. It rises on a long curved stem with fluted acanthus lobes curling out either side and finishes in a hooked curl at the tip, all cast in one piece 6mm thick with a crisp, hand-forged look. A mirror-image left hand leaf is sold separately for symmetrical designs. Each one weighs about 0.3 kg. The price shown is for one leaf, with a minimum order of 10.
Why choose this leaf
Solid 6mm casting. Rigid and heavy enough to stand proud of the ironwork, with deep modelling that still reads clearly under several coats of paint.
Left and right hand versions. Use this right hand leaf with the left hand one to make mirrored pairs either side of a centre bar, scroll or crest.
Tall and slender. At 240mm tall and 130mm wide it climbs a bar or fills the tall gap inside an S scroll, where a round leaf would look squat.
Ready to weld. The stem foot and flat back give easy places to tack, with no forging or shaping needed.
Where it is used
Front garden railings, gate panels and overthrows, Juliet balconies and balustrades, floral panels and screens, and restoration of Victorian and Georgian ironwork.

Fitting and care
Offer the leaf up to the railing or scroll and mark where the stem foot and the back of the lobes touch. Tack at the stem and at one lobe, check it is upright from the front, then weld out. For a mirrored pair, set the left and right hand leaves either side of the centre before tacking so they match.
Clean off any casting scale, degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Dry-brush gold or bronze over black to pick out the lobes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one leaf?
Yes, it is for one right hand cast acanthus leaf, with a minimum order of 10.
Do you sell the left hand version?
Yes. The mirror-image leaf is linked in the table above, so you can make matching pairs.
Can I bend it?
No. It is a 6mm casting and may crack if bent. Choose the left or right hand version to suit your layout.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw steel and will rust if left bare, so prime and paint it once it is welded on.
