Golden Glass

Golden Glass brings the reader into the glittering world of Miriam Ellner, the foremost practitioner of verre eglomisé. Verre eglomisé is the ancient process of gilding precious metals on the reverse side of glass, etching in a design, and setting it off with color. It was first developed in 200 B.C. and Ellner is one of its acknowledged modern masters. This book offers stunning views into both Ellner’s process and the breathtakingly exclusive homes and spaces her work inhabits. Ellner has collaborated with some of the world’s leading interior designers and the book offers their reflections, coupled with hundreds of incredible photographs, as well as Ellner’s own insights into her decades long practice.
