Emporium Gilded Transfer
Introducing the Emporium Gilded Transfer—a sophisticated celebration of historical archive prints wrapped in one gorgeous collection. Emporium features a mix of lavish 19th-century patterns archived from vintage ledger pages, wallpaper motifs, and newspaper clippings.
Use individual elements of Emporium on smalls, or apply the whole sheet as an all-over pattern. Imagine these layered motifs gracing the interior of bureau drawers or adding a touch of shimmery goodness to a thrifted glass jar. Emporium would be equally stunning on small furniture—think nightstands or side tables—or even lining the interior of a moody matte black armoire for a dramatic, grandeur appearance.
Try mixing the typography sheets from Emporium with the florals from Saint Germain or other IOD floral transfers. Or lean into that vintage European feel by pairing it with the Heraldry Mould—those ornate crests and flourishes will play beautifully with these delicate vintage prints.
Prep Your Surface:
Start with a clean, dry, and matte surface. If it's painted, ensure the paint is completely cured and any sanding dust is removed. These will affect how well the transfer sticks. For the best results, seal your project with a high-quality, water-based matte polyurethane sealer before applying the transfer.
Position the Transfer:
Carefully peel the transfer away from its white backing. Slowly lower it onto your chosen surface, making sure it doesn't touch until you're happy with the placement. Use small pieces of low-tack tape to hold it in place.
Rub and Transfer:
Grab the provided tool (or one you prefer) and start at one end of the transfer. Rub firmly to adhere the image to the surface, continuing until the entire design is transferred. (This might feel like a bit of a workout!) If any areas don't transfer when you lift the tool, simply lay the transfer back down and rub those sections again. Once everything is transferred, use a clean, dry hand to smooth down any edges that aren't lying flat.
Seal It Up (Optional):
To protect your transferred image, we recommend sealing it with a water-based sealer or a non-harsh solvent-based sealer. There are ones that specifically work with metallics to keep the shine bright
