3. How long has La Barge been in business?
La Barge was founded by William La Barge in 1962. He started with a modest mirror line, and then developed the line to include accent furniture by the early 1970’s. The La Barge product line continues his passion for design leadership in hand carved and hand decorated mirrors, as well as hand crafted tables and accent furnishings.

4. What is gesso and how is it used?
Gesso is a paste-like material made of plaster or having similar characteristics to plaster. The material is used to add detail to the surfaces of wood and mirrors. It is quite flexible before it cures and can be handworked to provide additional detail to mirrors, and other accent furniture such as chests, occasional tables and armoires.

5. What is molding?
Molding is the process of creating picture frame-like mirrors from wood. The process involves creating the long straight sides of the mirror first, then hand detail is added to the molded material and each is hand finished before the mirror is glazed into place.

6. Where are La Barge products made?
Our products are handcrafted in small workshops around the world. La Barge designers develop ideas and search the world for the right artisan to execute the design. Mirrors and tables may come from Europe, North America and Asia, wherever the artisan may be found, to add form to La Barge individual designs. World-renowned carvers are found in Italy and Southeast Asia. Steel and ironwork is formed by blacksmiths from North America, Italy and Southeast Asia.
