Reverse Glass Gilding Reverse glass gilding offers new dimension to table tops, showcases, room separators and any other areas where glass is featured. A variety of techniques can be added to create an artistic look as well. Note: Reverse glass gilding has many advantages; glass acts as a barrier to protect leaf, glass provides a error-free finish, and in some cases back lighting can add effect. Trompe L'oeil A traditional technique of decorative painting that integrates artistic renderings with the surrounding elements. Trompe L'oeil can be used to create the practical or the fantastic. This example of a painted floor incorporates colors and motifs from different fabrics used throughout the project. The Gilders' Studio, Inc. - P.O. Box 631 - Olney, Maryland 20830 - Ph.
