FAQs

Verre eglomise refers to glass decorated using a process where gold or silver leaf is applied to the reverse side, followed by hand-etched or painted designs. When incorporated into mirror frames, this technique produces a layered, reflective border displaying intricate patterns.

Traditional eglomise mirrors feature sheet glass, real gold or metal leaf, specialised backing paints, and a supporting timber or giltwood framework to enclose the decorated mirror plates.

Authentic period eglomise shows natural signs of age, such as slight flaking or oxidisation of the metal leaf, irregular hand-worked etching lines under magnification, and gentle de-silvering along the edges of the central mirror glass.

A Chinoiserie mirror functions effectively as a focal point above a console table, hallway sideboard, or mantelpiece. Combining decorative glasswork with understated modern furnishings allows the detailed frame patterns to contrast cleanly against plain painted walls.

Clean the front glass using a soft lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or specialized glass cleaner, ensuring no liquid seeps behind the frame. Avoid harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads, and dust the surrounding gilt frame gently with a dry brush.
