Black glass gilding, also known as Eglomise, is a handcrafted mat made by painting black on the reverse side of a piece of glass and enhancing it with lines of gold leaf.

The design can range from the simplicity of one gold line, to the ornamentation of classic rosettes in each corner of the mat. This design technique is well suited to British Sporting prints, as well as framing portraits. Please ask us to show you this beautiful matting design.
