Table Jean
Inspired by a mid-century French design, this brass table features hand painted glass surfaces, created by Royal College of Art graduate Carol Fulton. Carol’s intricate “verre églomisé“ process involves water gilding gold, brass and silver leaf onto the reverse painted design. Inks, pigments and Japan paint are used to create these gilded “paintings” which are framed by the classic brass structure.
Each table is unique and can be made to order. We start with a chosen design and colour palette, and then allow the artist’s hand to take over.

About the artist
From her studio in the beautiful Welsh town of Llandeilo, Royal College of Art alumni Carol Fulton employs the ancient craft of verre églomisé to create these unique hand gilded glass tabletops. Using traditional tools and techniques, Carol combines Japan enamels and a variety of precious metal leafs to produce work with a contemporary feel. With a background in fine art photography, her appreciation of light, colour and composition informs her églomisé designs. She draws inspiration from the decorative arts as well as contemporary ceramics, abstract expressionism and colour field painting from the 1950s.
