Talking about decorating a room, there are many things that we must consider. Furniture, carpet, and wall decoration all play a role — and one of the most distinctive choices is a Verre Eglomise Mirror. This mirror technique has been a favorite wall decoration in mansions and homes for generations. Its uniqueness keeps it popular today, and buyers ranging from homeowners to interior designers and hospitality projects choose it as a statement piece. If you want to pick a wall decoration using this mirror, here’s what you need to know.
This mirror is well known for its Verre Eglomise Antique character and aesthetic value. That is why, if you want a classical interior theme, putting this mirror on the wall is a great idea. Placing it on the right section of the wall and pairing it with the right furniture will make your room lively and full of aesthetic value.
Eglomise is a decoration technique in which the back side of the glass is gilded with gold or metal leaf, leaving an engraved design that adds to the mirror’s beauty. Margo Venetian Mirror uses premium Asahi glass for this technique, gilded in either gold or silver leaf with a range of motifs — flower engravings, geometric patterns, and more.
The metal leaf is applied using oil-based adhesives to achieve a matte finish, and the gilding is combined with reverse painting on glass (verre églomisé). This technique isn’t limited to large eglomise mirrors for wall decoration — it also appears in paintings, drinking glasses, jewelry, and windows. You may combine several eglomise pieces in one room to create a unique and cohesive look.
If you are interested in choosing a mirror with an eglomise technique, there are several things to consider. The first is color. As explained above, the mirror is gilded in gold or silver leaf. Make sure the color matches your furniture or the overall theme of the room — the right color choice adds significantly to the beauty of the space.
The shape of the mirror is just as important. Eglomise mirrors now come in many shapes and designs, from round and rectangular to octagonal profiles. Choose the shape that fits your preference and space. If you’re unsure, consulting an interior designer is a good idea.
You should also think about the mirror’s function — will it serve as wall art only, a functional mirror, or both? For a bathroom, choose a clear mirror with the eglomise technique applied only on the edges. For wall art, a fully engraved design is the better choice.
