The repoussé is a process of metal work which consists in hammering a plate of iron, gold, silver, copper, brass etc., placed on a resistant putty.
There are two types of repoussé:
- repoussé on top, where the face of the metal is worked by pushing the hollows inwards
- the bottom embossing or true embossing, where the reverse side of the metal is worked by pushing the reliefs outwards
The metal plate is applied to the previously moulded bronze object.
In ancient times, repoussé was known as "sphyrelaton" or hammer work.
This technique was commonly used by Roman goldsmiths. Emblema were also obtained by this process.
Embossing was also used in the Middle Ages.
In the 16th century the recingle or ressing appeared. The recingle is a sort of small light anvil with one of its points extended and curved. This is inserted into the hollow of the object to be decorated with reliefs.
The hammer blows struck on the recingle between the point where it is fixed and the end of its extension produce springs, counter-blows which work and push back the metal from within at the given point.Lovely wooden mirror with rich ornamentation in embossed brass decorated with flowers, leaves and interlacing.
Its mercury glass is bevelled.
