Verre Eglomise

Glass Art

Timna is delighted to be able to sell some of her reverse hand painted glass art depicting botanicals, birds & blossom on a background of burnished gilded mirror known as Verre Eglome a highly skilled historical technique of water gilding leaf onto painted glass then gently distressing them to give them all a unique individual quality.

The art of reverse painting, etching and gilding precious metals on the reverse side of glass is referred to as "verre eglomise" popularised by 18th century French decorator and art-dealer Jean-Baptise Glomy (1711–1786), although it is an art technique that can be found on artwork predating Roman times.

Her pieces are available framed or unframed and are shipped in ultra tough art box’s.
