Marybeth Ting
Verre Églomisé
Verre églomisé is a technique that originates from the 18th-century French — gold leaf applied to the reverse of glass, then engraved or layered to reveal a design. But the definition doesn't capture what it does in a room.
The gold sits beneath the surface, untouchable. The finish changes with the hour, the angle, the quality of light.
It's not static. It responds.
The method has carried from century to century. We continue it by hand, with metals and textures developed in our own studio.
"ETHEREAL HORIZONS". Exclusively crafted for Maison & Objet Paris 2025, this piece reflects the exhibit’s theme, Sur/Reality, blurring the line between the familiar and the fantastical. A true celebration of imagination, craftsmanship, and innovation.
The work begins and ends with one set of hands.
Marybeth has spent over a decade refining what gold, palladium, and glass can do together. Her finishes move between matte and mirror — surfaces that glow in low light and shift as you move through the room. She works with metal combinations most gilders avoid.
Her conviction: spaces deserve surfaces with weight.
A gilded surface doesn't recede. It asks to be seen.
For design professionals commissioning work for spaces that ask for weight.
