Custom Mirror: Vagabond Hats Dallas

Custom Mirrors Eglomise
Written By Sean Starr

This custom mirror was created in our studio for Vagabond Hat Company located in Dallas’ Cedars neighborhood. The piece was executed using verre eglomise techniques combining paints, mica powders, copper leaf and genuine gold leaf in 23.75k, 18k and 12k white gold with the mirror surface executed in genuine silver leaf.

The antique frame was stripped down and painted before receiving an antiqued copper leaf treatment followed with a subtle glaze finish.

The mirror hangs in Vagabond’s showroom where client’s can try on their hats during the sizing process.
