Agate Burnishers

Agate burnishers are polished stone tools used to form, smooth, and press gold leaf onto prepared surfaces, producing the characteristic bright, mirror-like finish associated with traditional water gilding. The hard, highly polished agate stone allows the gilder to compress the leaf against the underlying bole layer, creating a durable and reflective surface often used in fine art, frame gilding, and restoration work.
Sepp Leaf Products offers a complete line of agate burnishers mounted with metal ferrules and wood handles for durability and control. A wide variety of profiles are available, including specialized shapes designed for reaching detailed carvings, moldings, and intricate surfaces. Custom agate burnishers can also be special ordered to meet specific project or restoration requirements.
