Decalcomania is a decorative technique involving the transfer of engravings or prints from paper to glass or porcelain surfaces, which gained significant popularity during the Victorian era in the nineteenth century as a popular pastime for ladies.

These pieces typically utilise blown glass vessels reverse-decorated with printed paper transfers, sealed with varnishes, and mounted with brass or metal hardware for electrical fittings.

Authentic pieces usually display characteristic signs of age such as craquelure in the varnish, oxidation on the internal paper elements, and hand-applied finishing touches beneath the glass or protective sealant.

They function effectively as statement lighting on sideboards or console tables, pairing well with neutral silk or linen shades to highlight the intricate colour and detail of the glass body.

Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture that could compromise the aged varnish and paper transfers beneath the glass.
