Description
A large pressed steel acanthus garland leaf, 690mm long and 200mm wide, 3mm thick. One long sweeping leaf with a curved spine, deeply cut acanthus lobes curling along one side and a rolled curl at the tip, made to crown the top rail of a driveway gate, an arch or an overthrow. A pair set tip to tip makes a grand centrepiece across a double gate. Each one weighs about 2.45 kg. The price shown is for one leaf.
Why choose this leaf
Big enough for a driveway gate. At 690mm long it is in scale with full-size double gates, arches and overthrows, where small leaves get lost.
Made to follow a curve. The spine is already curved, and the 3mm pressing can be eased further to sit along an arched or swept top rail.
Heavy 3mm pressing. Stiff enough to stand proud of the rail and take the weather, with deep lobes that read clearly from the road.
Pairs for a centrepiece. Two leaves set tip to tip, or curl to curl, across the meeting point of a double gate make a classic crest.
Where it is used
Driveway gate top rails and crests, arched pedestrian gates, overthrows and archways, estate railings, balcony fronts and large wall art.

Fitting and care
Offer the leaf up to the rail and mark where the spine sits. If the rail is more or less curved than the leaf, ease the spine gradually by hand or over a former, a little at a time. Clamp it in place, tack at both ends and the middle, check it from the front, then weld in short runs along the spine to avoid distortion.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Gold leaf or a gilded paint over black, as in the gallery, makes a striking finish on a driveway gate.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one leaf?
Yes, it is for one large garland leaf. Order two for a matching pair across a double gate.
Can I make a mirrored pair?
Yes. Turn the second leaf over so the lobes face the other way. The turned leaf shows the reverse of the pressing, which reads much the same once painted.
Can I bend it to fit my gate?
Yes, gently. The 3mm pressing can be eased along the spine to follow a curved rail. Work slowly to avoid kinking the lobes.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw steel and will rust if left bare, so prime and paint it once it is welded on.
