Alongside Dominic, our team of skilled craftsmen and women bring each design to life by hand. Every piece is made in the UK, with an unwavering commitment to quality and exceptional attention to detail.
Our portfolio
Our portfolio showcases the range of work produced by the studio, from antiqued mirrors and gilded glass panels to bespoke verre églomisé commissions. The collection spans residential and hospitality projects of varying scales, each reflecting the studio’s grounding in traditional techniques and materials. Taken together, the images offer an insight into the process and craft behind every piece made by Dominic Schuster Ltd.
Our mirror and glass finishes
Creating an antiqued glass mirror panel or tile is a highly artistic process. We use a range of carefully guarded techniques to build the precise level of foxing and achieve the desired finish. Each panel is antiqued by hand, with particular attention given to the edges so the effect gently develops from the outside and softens towards the centre. This reflects the character of genuine antiqued mirror plates, where the concentration is naturally heavier around the edges and more delicate towards the middle.
Our collection
Our current collection brings together an eclectic blend of period and contemporary pieces. Drawing on 30 years of experience restoring highly decorative antiques, Dominic and his team have reinterpreted classic influences into designs suited to today’s market.
