This technique was also known to the artisans of Ancient Egypt. Over time, it developed, but was not very much in demand, until at the end of the eighteenth century Jean-Baptiste Glomy made it very popular again. And again, not for long.
Eglomise is a special technique for decorating glass, including engraving a pattern on gold or silver sheet. Nowadays, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, when this technique is quite rare, the Arte Veneziana company decided to contribute to its revival - the eglomise was revised and applied to the details of mirrored furniture.
The artist, armed with polychrome paints and a brush, applies the selected design to the glass and then covers it with a gold background that emphasizes the previously drawn lines. Eglomise is a confirmation that Arte Veneziana uses all its creativity, including both modern and traditional methods of work, to meet the needs of its customers for original serial and bespoke furniture.
