Athenæum Foil Transfer

Eight Transfer Sheets, 8” x 12” Each 

IOD’s Foil Transfers are an easy, fun way to add a gilded touch to your next piece of furniture, handmade home decor, or mixed media art. Athenæum features book covers and floral decor one might find on the inside of old books.

More About this Design -

Athenæum is inspired by vintage book covers and interior pages, including The Bird by Jules Michelet and a Pride and Prejudice cover by Jane Austen. Rooted in the idea of an athenaeum—a place devoted to learning, culture, and the quiet exchange of ideas—this collection evokes the romance of old libraries, well-loved pages, and stories passed from hand to hand.

It brings together complete compositions, typography, florals, frames, and decorative elements drawn from antique book design. Spine elements are designed to pair with the Bookish Mould, making it easy to create detailed book stacks and literary accents. Frames, borders, and corners are thoughtfully nested throughout for versatility, making this set ideal for book-themed projects and library-inspired décor.

What are IOD Transfers?

IOD Transfers are pressure sensitive images from Iron Orchid Designs that rub on to various surfaces including but not limited to furniture, small decor and crafts. When we design our transfers, it's increasingly important to us to approach them with sustainable, classic designs so that you know your hard work and artistry will be appreciated for years to come.

With a little instruction (provided on the back of your transfer pad), they are easy to use and add instant beauty to your projects.
