Description
The Urakawa artificial leaves are a tabletop ornament in black and gold. Two fan-palm leaves, one set in front of the other, rise on slender crossed black stems from a rectangular black base. Each leaf is shaped with deep pleats that fan out from the centre to pointed tips. The gold finish carries darker flecks, so it reads as aged gilt rather than flat paint. It is made from polyresin, stands 28cm tall and measures 24.5cm long and 8cm wide, a size that sits comfortably on a shelf or mantelpiece without crowding it.
Because there is nothing to water or trim, these leaves suit any indoor spot where a real palm would struggle. We like them on a dim hallway console or a bookcase well away from the window. The gap between the leaves and the base keeps the piece looking light and airy on a sideboard, a desk or a dressing table. Gold against black picks up warm metallic accents such as brass picture frames, lamp bases or gilded mirrors, while the dark base grounds it beside a stack of books or against a white wall. It makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for anyone who loves botanical shapes but has no time for houseplants.
Polyresin is a cast resin that holds fine detail, which is why every ridge on the leaves comes through so crisply. The plain black base gives a clean contrast to all that texture. At 1.1KG it has a reassuring weight, yet it is easy to lift and move to another room whenever you rearrange your shelves. As a decorative piece it belongs indoors. We like to angle it slightly towards a window or a table lamp, so the pleats catch the light and throw small shadows across each leaf, and the gold shifts through the day.

Frequently Asked
What material are the Urakawa leaves?
They are made from polyresin, a cast resin that holds the fine pleated detail of each fan-palm leaf, finished in gold on a black base.
How big is the ornament?
It stands 28cm tall and measures 24.5cm long and 8cm wide, with a weight of 1.1KG, so it suits a shelf, mantelpiece or console table.
Can it go outdoors?
No, this is a decorative piece for indoor use, so we suggest keeping it in a dry room such as a living room, hallway or bedroom.
What colour is the finish?
The two fan-palm leaves are gold with darker flecks for an aged gilt look, and the slender crossed stems and rectangular base are black.
Do the artificial leaves need watering?
No, there is nothing to water, trim or feed, so the leaves suit dim corners and rooms where a real palm would struggle to grow.
