Description
A pressed steel acanthus leaf spray, 150mm wide and 250mm tall, with the top curl turning to the left. The leaf rises on a long curved stem dressed with small leaflets, opens into deeply cut acanthus lobes and rolls over at the top in a big crested curl. Pressed from 2mm mild steel, it is light, easy to place and welds straight onto scrollwork. A mirror-image right facing leaf is sold separately for symmetrical designs. Each one weighs about 0.38 kg. The price shown is for one leaf, with a minimum order of 10.
Why choose this leaf
Big, bold detail. At 250mm tall it fills the corner of a gate, a fire screen frame or the inside of a large scroll, where a small leaf would look lost.
Left and right versions. Use this left facing leaf with the right facing one to make mirrored sprays either side of a centre bar or crest.
Light 2mm pressing. Easy to hold in place with one hand while tacking, and it follows the line of a scroll without adding much weight to a gate.
Long curved stem. Gives plenty of length to weld along a bar or blend into the curve of a scroll.
Where it is used
Ornate gate centres and overthrows, floral railing and balcony panels, garden screens and wall art, fire screens, and restoration of Victorian and Edwardian ironwork.

Fitting and care
Offer the leaf up to the scroll and mark where the stem and the back of the lobes touch. The 2mm pressing can be eased by hand to follow a gentle curve. Tack at the stem and at one lobe, check the position from the front, then weld in short runs to avoid burning through the thin edges. For a mirrored pair, set the left and right leaves either side of the centre before tacking.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Dry-brush gold or bronze over black to pick out the leaf edges.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one leaf?
Yes, it is for one left facing acanthus leaf spray, with a minimum order of 10.
Do you sell the right facing version?
Yes. The mirror-image leaf is linked in the table above, so you can make matching pairs.
Can I bend it?
A little. The 2mm pressing will ease round a gentle curve by hand, but sharp bends may crack the detail.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw steel and will rust if left bare, so prime and paint it once it is welded on.
