Our Gold Swathe finish is created through an artisan process where a soft, fluid metallic pattern is hand‑applied to the reverse of each glass top. Because this technique is executed by skilled makers rather than machines, no two tables are ever identical – each piece has its own unique interplay of gold tone and texture. The warm, opulent surface pairs beautifully with brass edge trims and complements both modern and traditional interiors. Ideal for feature coffee tables, restaurant bar tops, and statement dining tables where a touch of gold adds luxury.

This is one of our most popular custom made glass table top finishes for boutique hospitality projects.

The edge trim is an important detail that defines the character of a custom glass table top. We offer a selection of decorative brass profiles to suit different interior styles – from the clean lines of horizontal grooves, to the ornate curves of Roman arches, or the bold texture of vertical flutes. Each profile is precision-made for a refined, durable finish.

All our glass table tops are made to order, giving you complete control over the final design. Options include:

• Edge trims in brass, copper, stainless steel, or powder-coated steel

• Various glass thicknesses and shapes – round, oval, square, or rectangular.

• Reverse-side decorative finishes, metallic backing, or leafing

• Integration with timber or metal bases supplied by you or sourced by us

All edge trims are fabricated in-house in Liverpool, giving us complete control over accuracy, finish quality and turnaround times.

Our illuminated glass tops combine craftsmanship with integrated LED lighting to create a dramatic, glowing effect. Light is diffused evenly through the glass for a soft ambience, with options for warm or cool colour tones, dimmable controls, and concealed wiring. These are particularly striking in low-light settings such as cocktail bars, hotel lounges, and modern kitchen islands.
Typical thickness: 5cm.

Illuminated glass table tops can be produced with warm white, cool white or RGB LED systems.
