Gold Leaf Cherub Frame with antiqued patina glaze and verre eglomise mirror executed with 12k white gold leaf.

Verre églomisé is a decorative art technique that involves applying a design, gilding, or image onto the reverse side of glass to create a stunning, reflective effect. The term derives from the French decorator Jean-Baptiste Glomy, who popularized the method in the 18th century, although the technique itself dates back to ancient Rome. Typically, gold or silver leaf is adhered to the glass using an adhesive, and intricate designs are etched or painted to create detailed patterns or imagery. This method produces a luminous, mirror-like quality, making it a favorite in creating decorative panels, furniture, and architectural elements. Verre églomisé combines craftsmanship and artistry, resulting in timeless pieces that enhance both traditional and modern interiors with their elegance and brilliance.
