Agate Burnishers

Agate burnishers are used to smooth out genuine gold leaf (any metal leaf) after it has been adhered to a surface through water gilding, giving the gilded surface an attention-grabbing luster.

Used as one of the final steps in water gilding, burnishing with an agate stone will give a mirror-like finish to your gilding project.

We carry many different types of agate burnishers from the commonly used “Dog-Tooth” shape for complex surfaces, to large flat shapes for  much larger and even surfaces.
