We have
made Eglomise glass (verre Eglomise in France
where it originated, see the
history page ) for many years, for use
both in restoration: to replace brocken or
damaged panels of glass and for new projects.
We have developed
a range of hand painted and gilt, decorative
Eglomise glass, some
traditional and some highly
contemporary.
Our verre Eglomise is used in a wide
variety of ways. Walls can be covered
with large sheets to
create huge visual impact or numbers of
smaller pieces can be used in a patterned
decorative scheme. Doors, ceilings,
furniture can all benefit from the
application of decorative verre Eglomise
designs either as a feature, such as a table top, or covered entirely.
We have also had to find new techniques to
antique mirror glass successfully for restoration and, as a natural progression to this
have developed a wide range of
colour effects
and
patinated
forms of verre Eglomise and antiqued
mirror.
Over the last few years we have
experimented with adding dimension to our
decorative glass by creating
carved or relief
glass.
Relief or carved
glass is sandblasted giving extra depth to
many designs, creating a combination of
polished and etched areas to the back
and/or the front. It is also possible to
combine the techniques of
carved / relief
glass with eglomise glass to achieve truly
beautiful and unusual effects and designs.
