silver foil

Shiny kitchen sheet

Silver foil is a thin sheet of silver metal, used decoratively or as a protective wrapping.

The term often refers loosely to aluminum foil or any shiny metallic wrapping material, regardless of actual silver content: chocolates wrapped in silver foil.

In traditional crafts, genuine silver foil appears in gilding and religious iconography.
