FAQs

Acid-etched glass became popular in British public houses during the Victorian era, utilizing hydrofluoric acid to create opaque designs on glass plates, which provided privacy while diffusing light and displaying branding.

These pieces typically consist of mouth-blown or plate glass treated with hydrofluoric acid resist techniques, housed within heavy timber frames made from native woods such as mahogany, oak, or pine.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural imperfections in the glass such as bubbles and waviness, hand-etched variations in opacity, and genuine patina, age-related wear, and oxidisation on the wooden framing.

They can be wall-mounted with backlighting to highlight the intricate etchings, used as room dividers, or incorporated into interior partition walls to retain architectural character.

Clean the glass gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild, ammonia-free glass cleaner, avoiding abrasive materials. Treat the wooden frame periodically with appropriate conservation wax to maintain the finish.
