Indian glass paintings bring a distinctive decorative quality to interiors. Their hand-painted detail, reflective surface and antique frames make them especially suited to layered, characterful homes, where art, furniture, textiles and objects are collected over time.
Placed alone, each painting offers a small moment of colour and intricacy. Hung together, they create a beautiful arrangement, bringing rhythm and charm to a hallway, sitting room, bedroom, dining space or garden room.
These paintings are particularly well suited to interiors that combine vintage furniture, natural materials, garden-inspired colour and carefully chosen decorative pieces.
Each painting is created using the reverse glass painting technique, where the image is painted by hand on the back of the glass. This gives the artwork its luminous quality, allowing colour, pattern and detail to appear through the glass surface.
The result is both delicate and decorative, with a jewel-like character that changes subtly with the light. Finished in individual antique frames, no two pieces feel exactly alike.


The collection includes a range of nature-inspired subjects, from birds and botanical forms to insects, animals and marine scenes. These motifs sit naturally within the Petersham Nurseries world, reflecting the garden, our greenhouses and our relationship between art, nature and the home.
Small, decorative and full of character, Indian glass paintings make thoughtful gifts for those who love art, interiors, gardens and one-of-a-kind pieces. Their nature-inspired subjects and antique frames give them a timeless quality, making them suitable for birthdays, housewarmings, thank-you gifts and seasonal celebrations.
