Description
A fluted acanthus scroll leaf in 3mm steel, 70mm wide and 160mm tall, with the top curl facing left. The classic acanthus ornament: deep curved flutes running down the leaf, a rolled curl at the top and a small curled foot at the bottom. It is made to sit along C and S scrolls so the leaf follows the curve. This is the mirror image of the right facing leaf, so the two together give balanced, symmetrical designs. Each one weighs about 0.11 kg. The price shown is for one leaf, with a minimum order of 10.
Why choose this leaf
Classic acanthus look. The fluted, curling acanthus leaf is the traditional dressing for scrollwork on gates, benches, fire screens and balconies.
Left and right versions. Use this left facing leaf with the right facing leaf to make mirrored panels and centrepieces.
3mm steel. Thick enough to weld without burning through and to keep its shape, yet light enough for small scrolls.
Follows the scroll. The gentle curve in the side profile lets the leaf sit snugly over round and flat bar scrolls.
Where it is used
Garden benches and chairs, fire screens and fireplace guards, gate tops and centre panels, balcony and balustrade panels, wall art, and restoration of period ironwork.

Fitting and care
Lay the leaf over the scroll and ease it to the curve with a soft hammer if needed. Tack it at the top, middle and foot from the back, check it sits flush, then finish the welds. For mirrored designs, lay out the left and right facing leaves together 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 flutes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one leaf?
Yes, it is for one left facing acanthus leaf, with a minimum order of 10.
Do I need left and right leaves?
For symmetrical designs, yes. Order this left facing leaf and the right facing leaf in equal numbers.
Can I shape it?
A little. 3mm steel can be eased to a scroll with a soft hammer, but heavy bending may crack the flutes.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw steel and will rust if left bare, so prime and paint it once it is welded on.
