The Beauty of Églomisé

Églomisé is an ancient technique of glass painting and decorating that dates back to the Egyptian times. It was revived in Europe during the 18th century and the term is derived from the French 'Verre églomisé', meaning 'gilded glass'. Églomisé is a process where the reverse side of a piece of glass is gilded with gold or silver leaf using a gelatin adhesive. The result is a mirror-like, softly reflective surface that when combined with reverse painting techniques creates rich, shimmering and beautifully reflective pieces of artwork. The process is extremely difficult, delicate and elaborate, and Jonathan Charles use the technique to enhance the beauty of their pieces. This mirror is a wonderful work of art.

Buckingham Collection
