The use of gold or silver leaf on glass goes back to early Roman times and was a popular technique used for Looking Glass Mirrors during eighteenth and nineteenth century. Verre Églomisé is the practice of reverse gilding and etched painting on glass incorporating gold and silver leaf. Each precious leaf is applied by hand and adhered to the back of glass with a gelatin and water solution. ‘Gilded glass’ and, as the name suggests, is the technique of applying gold or other metal leaf to the glass.
