Rough Old Glass creates hand-silvered antiqued mirror glass, verre églomisé wall panels, tiles, splashbacks, and ready-to-hang mirrors from their North Devon workshop. Each piece is made using traditional techniques to capture the rich, timeworn character of aged mirror glass. Originally supplying the antiques trade, the team delivers bespoke commissions globally. From subtle patinas to bold, distressed surfaces, Rough Old Glass offers an atmospheric alternative to modern mirrors, blending decorative artistry with craftsmanship to elevate both contemporary and historic interiors.
The Story behind
Founded by a restorer and conservator who worked with the National Trust and English Heritage for over a decade, and an upholsterer and dealer of antique French chairs and mirrors, Rough Old Glass began with a need to replace lost mirror plates in antique French frames. Years of handling genuine 18th- and 19th-century glass informed the development of their own hand-silvering and distressing techniques. Demand quickly expanded beyond the antiques world, and today, they are supported by a growing team of artists, silverers, gilders, and welders.
Services
Rough Old Glass offers bespoke framing, gilding, and welding for wooden, steel, or brass pieces, alongside expert restoration of antique mirrors and decorative surfaces, including gilt, lacquer, and japanned work. Mercury mirror conservation ensures safe, precise treatment or replication of original finishes.
