A private commission of a number 6.
Painted by hand and in reverse with a bespoke green mixed by hand to make a unique - one off - piece of work.
The gilding has been applied to the back of the glass using the technique of water gilding and on this piece Umberto chose 23c gold.
-
The frame was bespoke made by our friends Saddleworth Picture Framers.
The guild commended framer works closely with Signs by Umberto to ensure the bespoke glass pieces are framed to the highest standards.
-
In this piece the number 6 has been designed for the American singer-song writer, John Mayer.
The typeface known as 'Mayer' was designed by David A Smith of Torquay who kindly gave Umberto the typeface to use across projects that may require it.
