Cut & Etched Mirrors
Etching was a popular method of decorating and obscuring flat glass panels and windows, a technique known as 'embossing' in the late 18th century. The object to be etched was immersed in the acid at an appropriate dilution for the desired depth of the cut. Parts of the object not to be decorated were covered with resist, a mixture of rosin and beeswax. When immersed, the acid attacks the exposed parts of the pattern, when complete the acid and the resist are removed to reveal the pattern.
