Questions About Reverse Glass
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The first step in reverse glass painting is to select your design and to transfer it to a pane of glass. From there you can paint in your design. Once the paint is dry and set, you can proudly display your artwork from the unpainted side that will have no exposed paint and will be less prone to chipping.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Reverse painting on glass is called verre églomisé. The term gets its name from the 18th-century decorator Jean-Baptiste Glomy who became famous for his reverse-painted glass prints. On 1stDibs, you can shop a collection of verre églomisé furniture and jewelry.
