Over the last few month I have been busy working with New York Designer Dikayl Rimmasch Dunkley on a series of Hand made custom advertising mirrors for two
new Ralph Lauren stores in New York city.
The photographs show the processes of making the mirror from start to finish.
Antique advertising mirrors created with a look of a mirrors you would have found in the early 1900's.
Mock up sample for the larger mirrors.
Two toned water gilded border with glue chipped and antique mirrored finish.
Some of the gold leaf lettering has been added.
The third and larger mirror with mirroring completed.
Once the acid embossing and glue chipping is complete the glass is then given an antique mirror finish.
This detail shows the glue having been poured into the exposed glass areas. As the glue dries it will begin to fracture and chip the glass to create a texture on the surface of the glass.
Glass panels are placed in the chipping booth to begin the 24 hour chipping process.
Mica flakes and acid applied to the exposed glass creating a textured finish to the glass.
Here the first two glass pieces are masked and ready for acid embossing.
