Where the name comes from

The technique is named after the French engraver Jean-Baptiste Glomy, who decorated picture frames with an openwork gold border. Hence "verre églomisé", Glomy's glass. The technique itself has been known since the times of Byzantium and Ancient Rome, and it flourished in the 19th century, when it was used to decorate palace interiors.
