reverse painted glass

Because of the richness of its exquisitely hand-painted motifs, nothing exudes sophistication like accessories crafted with the reversed-painted glass technique originated in Spain and brought to Peru centuries ago. Artisan Flora Polo specializes in this method and uses it to craft a remarkable wood and glass serving tray to dazzle your guests with regal elegance.

The glamour of the baroque Spanish era in Peru produced a unique decorative style that brings a touch of nature and elegance to any home. This heritage stays alive with the work of artisans such as Flora Polo, who creates this reverse-painted glass mirror. Masterfully made by hand, ivory and brown floral motifs are arranged on the reverse side of glass panes, which are set into a wooden frame accented with golden-toned details.

The reverse painted glass technique arrived in Peru with the Spaniards in the 16th century and even today, artisans like Asunta Pelaez still work with a noble method that gifts us with one of the most original and artistic handicrafts you can find. The artisan presents a folding tray table entirely crafted by hand featuring gorgeous floral and leaf motifs. The tray is made from MDF while the stand is crafted from pinewood and comes with a safety mechanism to keep the tray always in place.

An unparalleled work of art is what derives from the use of the traditional reverse-painted glass technique for this exquisite serving tray. Designed by artisan Flora Polo, the tray is crafted from wood and glass in Peru and painted by hand with floral motifs in bright colours.
