This mirror has a reverse-glass panel painted by the owner's mother. It needed some work done to the gilding, particularly the cornice and the round ornaments (spherules).

A blog by Joseph Rice with posts about gilding (working with gold leaf), decorative painting, antiques and restoration, the decorative arts in general.

- I have been combining my interests and activities in artisanal work (gilding, restoration, frame-making) with writing and social media. This was spurred while completing a master's degree in communications at Clark University. My career (if we can call it that) has been in both technical and arcane, artisanal areas. And just crazy about antique picture frames and mirrors.
