Revealing Our New Verre Eglomise Damask Series Featuring 22.5ct Champagne Gold Leaf

In today’s fast-paced world filled with mass-produced items, there is a growing desire for unique and meaningful products. Our new Verre Eglomise pieces, featuring beautiful 22.5ct champagne gold leaf, stands out as a stunning blend of tradition and modern design. With intricate floral patterns that include designs inspired by nature, we are bringing rich heritage back to life while offering style that suits contemporary tastes.

Verre Eglomise, a technique that dates back to ancient Rome but popularised by French decorator Jean-Baptiste Glomy, involves applying gold leaf to the reverse side of glass. This method creates a luminous effect that captures the eye and invites admiration. Artisans have cherished this technique for centuries, and we are pleased to shine a light on its beauty with our recent collection.

Every item we create reflects our dedication to quality and craftsmanship. By combining traditional methods with modern flair, we are inviting you to rediscover the allure of artisanal design. In this post, we will explore the fascinating history of Verre Eglomise, the significance of using 22.5ct champagne gold leaf, and the inspiration behind our lovely floral patterns. Join us as we celebrate the revival of heritage through exceptional artistry.

The Art of Verre Eglomise

Verre Eglomise represents more than just a decorative technique; it embodies generations of skill and creativity. Artisans apply gold leaf meticulously to the back of glass, producing a warm, glowing effect that changes with the light. Popular in 18th-century France, master craftsmen used this technique to embellish mirrors, frames, and furniture, creating pieces that were both functional and beautiful.

The magic of Verre Eglomise lies in its ability to transform ordinary glass into exquisitely crafted artwork. Each piece is unique; for instance, a single artisan can take up to several hours to apply the gold leaf by hand, ensuring every curve and edge reflects light perfectly. The result is a captivating play of light and texture that can enrich the atmosphere of any room.

Our new collection takes inspiration from this historical technique while encouraging a new appreciation for handcrafted design. By reviving Verre Eglomise, we are honouring those who mastered it in the past and inviting today’s audience to experience its beauty.

The Allure of 22.5ct Champagne Gold Leaf

A highlight of our collection is the use of high-quality 22.5ct champagne gold leaf. This unique gold leaf stands out with its warm hue, providing a luxurious touch that complements various decoration styles, from classic to modern aesthetics. In fact, research shows that gold-accented décor can increase a home’s perceived value by 10%, making it a wise investment for both style and resale potential.

Choosing 22.5ct gold was deliberate; it is not only visually appealing, but it also offers durability. When cared for properly, gold leaf can last for generations. This means our pieces are designed to be enjoyed as heirlooms rather than disposable decorative items.

Moreover, our commitment to sustainability informs our use of champagne gold leaf. By sourcing materials responsibly and ensuring our production processes are eco-friendly, we strive to protect the environment while creating beautiful products. Quality and sustainability are core to our brand ethos, and we take pride in sharing this mission with our customers.

Floral Patterns: A Nod to Nature

Nature serves as a profound inspiration, and our floral patterns celebrate this beauty. Each design is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the elegance and grace found in flowers. For example, a design mimicking cherry blossoms can evoke a sense of tranquility and renewal, adding a peaceful touch to any room.

Using the 'gold on gold' technique allows these patterns to shimmer brilliantly. As light interacts with the glass, intricate floral designs come alive, captivating anyone who sees them. Placed in your living room, kitchen, or hallway, our Verre Eglomise products become stunning conversation starters and focal points within your home. This is a start of the series we are creating with more design still to arrive. We create our Verre Eglomise mirrors in any unique pattern, perfect for enhancing all types of luxury interiors, whether for homes or hospitality venues..

Additionally, our integration of floral motifs pays homage to art history. Flowers have long symbolised beauty, love, and rebirth in art. By capturing these themes, our collection invites you to incorporate nature’s essence into your living space.

The Process: Crafting Each Piece

Creating our Verre Eglomise products is a meticulous process that requires skill and dedication. We start with high-quality glass that craftsmen carefully cut and shape into the desired form. Once ready, artisans apply the gold leaf using traditional methods honed over centuries.

Artisans work with precision, as the application process requires swift movements to ensure the gold leaf adheres without tearing. After the leaf is placed, the floral patterns are skillfully etched and covered in gold leaf on the reverse side, adding richness and detail to the design.

Each piece undergoes a rigorous inspection to meet our stringent quality standards. This thorough process is what sets our collection apart — we strive to create pieces that are both artistically striking and built to last.

Bringing Heritage to Modern Design

Our 'Damask' style of eglomise mirrors transforms the craftsmanship of eglomise into a contemporary art form. We have created a unique style and whilst the story starts with the floral ranges that we have produced we have more ideas for this series in the pipeline.

Our collection is perfect for anyone who seeks distinctive, high-quality pieces that tell a story. Each Verre Eglomise product reflects our mission to honour the artistry of the past while embracing modern design sensibilities.
