Since 1992, Verrissima has been preserving and advancing the rare art of stained glass, an integral part of France's glassmaking heritage.
The Art Stained Glass division, founded by Jonathan Metz- a graduate of the CERFAV in Nancy and current CEO of the Group- embodies a vision in which the transmission of ancestral know-how is combined with continuous innovation in the service of an exceptional craft.
This commitment to excellence has been recognized with the First Prize for Crafts and Fine Arts of Moselle, a distinction that acknowledges the company's mastery and dedication. Each piece is custom-designed, drawing on full command of traditional stained-glass techniques. The manual cutting of glass requires absolute rigor and millimetre-level precision. Artisans carefully select rare glass materials with unique textures and colour variations, giving each creation a distinctive identity.
STAINED GLASS
Two complementary techniques are mastered in-house:
- Lead came glazing, a centuries-old method ensuring authenticity and long-term durability,
- The Tiffany technique, which uses copper foil soldered with tin, allowing for finer, more intricate compositions.
The workshop also has recognized expertise in the restoration of historic stained glass, carried out with the utmost respect for the integrity of heritage works.
Together, these skills create a dialogue between tradition and modernity, restoration and contemporary creation. Verrissima's works reflect a rare, demanding, and sustainable craftsmanship, fully exemplifying the excellence of French know-how recognized by the Living Heritage Company (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label.
SILVERING
Since 1923, Verrissima has mastered the rare art of silvering, specializing in crystal pieces and jewelry for luxury crystal makers.
Each creation receives exceptional care, revealing a subtle and refined brilliance that only century-old expertise can provide.
Artisans work with patience and precision, following traditional methods passed down from generation to generation. Verrissima's silvering enhances the crystal, transforming each piece into an object of distinction and prestige. A rare craft, this technique requires perfect mastery of both metals and light.
Every reflection is carefully studied to reveal the full beauty and purity of the crystal. Silvered jewelry and decorative pieces become symbols of luxury and timeless elegance. Each creation bears witness to French artisanal excellence and a century-old heritage.
With Verrissima, silvering becomes the ultimate signature of refinement in the world of crystal and luxury.
