Verre Églomisé
Custom Artwork
We are Bondar Studios – a London based, family run creative workshop specializing in Verre Églomisé, the timeless art of gilding on glass.
Known for our exceptional craftsmanship, we design and create bespoke églomisé finishes, unique antique mirrors and custom glass signage for clients worldwide. From classic French café fronts to boutique hotels and private homes – we do it all.
For our églomisé mirrors, we offer a range of metal leaf finishes, including silver leaf, Moon gold, 24K gold, deep gold, Caplain leaf, and Palladium leaf. We also specialize in chemical silvering, a traditional technique for creating silver mirrors. Both techniques are available in plain or distressed finishes.
We also create hand-painted designs, acid-etched and sandblasted patterns. For detailed work, we can screen print on glass or apply gold leaf with precision, allowing for intricate designs and fine lettering. We are artists who can handle everything – from concept to completion, we bring your vision to life.
