Verdigris is without any doubt the most complex and fascinating finish created by the atelier until now.
Achieved through a patination technique on metal leaf, this finish reproduces faithfully the shades and textures characteristic of verdigris, evoking the beauty of the natural oxidations that develop over time.
The details in gold and verdigris tones bring to the séparé and the counter, creating an elegant and contemporary contrast with the dark wooden surfaces.
Antique mirrors are created using a process known as silvering, an ancient technique dating back to the 19th century.
Mediante un trattamento chimico, l’argento liquido viene separato e depositato sulla superficie del vetro, formando lo strato riflettente. La fase successiva di anticatura si esegue attraverso l’utilizzo di diversi agenti ossidativi applicati sulla lastra argentata, che permettono di modulare texture, profondità e grado di anticatura.
Il Verre églomisé è una tecnica decorativa che prevede l’applicazione a mano di foglie d’oro, argento o altri metalli preziosi sul retro del vetro, creando un effetto riflettente sulla superficie.
I complement this technique with further decorative and painting processes: the use of pigments, powders and natural resins is combined with oxidative treatments of metal leaf, creating unique surfaces with an infinite variety of colour effects.
