The phrase verre églomisé literally means ‘Glomy-ised glass’ but, although he popularised the art form in the 18th century, Glomy lent his name to a far older technique, examples of which predate the Roman era.

The production of verre églomisé involves many stages; the reverse side of glass is gilded with gold or silver leaf, fixed with a gelatine-based liquid adhesive. Once dried, the leaf is burnished, resulting in a highly mirrored surface.

We use these age old methods combined with painting and other techniques to create richly layered designs.
