Heirloom Flower Jewelry ChestPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 6110540

SKU# 6110540

This jewel of a chest will make a treasured heirloom. Reverse painted glass panels, painted in flowing flower design, decorate its five stacked drawers.

In reverse glass painting the design is silk screened onto the back or reverse side of the glass. The painting is done “back to front”: details painted first, then larger color areas, and finally a background color. In the last stage, artisans apply a coat of varnish to protect the paint. Reverse painting requires great care and skill, as the visual “surface” is painted first then layered over, so errors cannot be corrected. Reverse painting has an ancient history going back to the Middle Ages.
  • Reverse painted glass, medium density fiberboard

  • Made in Peru
