The French term “églomisé” was created to describe reverse-painted glass. In this instance, the French first carved a fanciful naturalist vine-like design in the back of the glass and then filled that with a yellow-gold paint (or other colored substance), then mirroring the entire surface after adding an abstract design. The result, as you see, is “pure art.”
The wrought iron table itself has a lovely verdigris patina. The design on the glass top, as you can see in the overhead photo, has been somewhat compromised around the edges, perhaps water damage. The mirrored top is reflecting some of the white ceiling in the room where the photos were taken; this area is most representative of how the tabletop appears in "reality". The gold-yellow color in the vines motif is more assertive than in the photos.. The glass top is so abundantly decorated that the losses on the edges are hard to notice.
This table is ideally suitable as a coffee table if used in the home, but it could be lovely in the garden, brought out for special occasions. In any event, a fab addition!
Dimensions: the tabletop measures 23 ¼ by 12 ½ (including the legs, the overall dimensions are 16 ¼ by 28); the height of the table is 15 ¾.
Some minor scratching on the top of the glass, extremely difficult to notice (with so much else going on!). less
