Verre Eglomise is a wonderfully versatile process, where gilding is applied to the rear face of the glass to produce a mirror finish. This process can be combined with painting and screen printing techniques to apply decorative illustrations.
The handmade nature and drying process creates a beautiful, inherent texture in the glass, which changes depending on the angle from which you view it. A multitude of colours can be achieved through the use of various precious metals and pigments.
At Overmantels, our Eglomise mirrors bring this ancient process into the 21st century, focusing on the intricate textures and colours, while keeping the design simple and clean. These pieces allow you to seamlessly combine a mirror and a stunning piece of art in one.
