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.

If you are familiar with traditional IOD Transfers, they apply similarly but may take a bit more patience in areas of fine detail. Take your time and don’t press any harder than you usually would, as this can hinder the release rather than help.

Surfaces:

IOD Gilded transfers can be applied to many surfaces, depending on how they are prepared. For the best adhesion, we recommend sealing painted or porous surfaces with a satin or semi-gloss sealer and allowing it to dry thoroughly prior to applying your Gilded Transfer.

Sealing:

Once applied, we highly recommend sealing with two topcoats of a water based sealer. This will enhance the durability of your project. The final sheen can be toned (more or less shimmer) depending on which protective top coat you use.

Additional Helpful Tip from IOD:

To preserve the most shimmer, we have found that Modern Masters Metallic Paint Collection Master Clear in Satin seems to do a good job for maximum reflectiveness. In our tests, two coats works best to eliminate any streaking.
