What is Verre Églomisé?

Traditionally, Verre Églomisé is defined as the application of both a design and gilding onto the rear face of glass, with the aim of creating mirror-like effects. This art can be then combined with other decorative techniques, which include painting, distressing and sgraffito. Our artists’ expertise in applying and combining various techniques delivers incredible results in terms of detailing, colours, and style, but for a really stunning result they employ the highly complex skill of reverse painting, where the artist’s entire process is carried out from back to front.

As well as applying and distressing the gilded leaves, painting is a great technique to make the glass even more unique and beautiful. Our artists’ expertise in applying and combining various techniques delivers incredible results in terms of detailing, colours and style, which really takes Verre Églomisé to the next level.

Where to use Verre Églomisé

Verre Églomisé and decorated glass are incredibly versatile. As well as receiving requests for the traditional use as a mirror, we have produced decorated glass for bespoke wall artworks as well as furniture decoration, including cabinet doors or tabletops and for shower screens. Styles range from traditional to modern, employing figurative, organic, or abstract patterns.

Antiqued mirrors

Antiqued mirrors are the result of various techniques that, using distressed precious or semi-precious leaf, makes the glass look like it has aged, either subtly or radically. Moreover, the degree of reflectivity can be controlled, depending on the level of distressing.
