Eglomisé Glass
Églomisé glass brings a luminous elegance to interiors, marrying delicate artistry with timeless craftsmanship. At Hare & Humphreys, we create bespoke églomisé finishes that reflect light and beauty in equal measure — adding depth, movement and quiet luxury to both classical and contemporary spaces.
Deriving its name from the 18th-century French decorator Jean-Baptiste Glomy, églomisé is the art of applying design and precious metal leaf to the reverse side of glass. The result is a mirrored surface that shimmers with gold, silver or subtle antiqued tones, transforming ordinary panels into statement features.
Our specialist team employs traditional techniques — gilding, painting and burnishing each pane by hand — to produce unique finishes that can be softly aged, richly detailed or sleekly modern. From decorative wall panels and splashbacks to mirrored ceilings and bespoke furniture inlays, églomisé glass lends refinement and lightness wherever it is installed.
Every commission is crafted to complement its setting. Working closely with designers, architects and private clients, we develop finishes that respond to natural light, architectural detail and the wider interior palette. The result is a surface alive with subtle shifts of reflection and a depth that rewards closer inspection.
