ice cream impasto
Obviously.
A little used 20th c. technique, most durable only in Northern climes.

OtOh, if it *is* a typo, I don\'t suppose that it could refer to the sloping sides of this particular piece of furniture, as in \"GLACIS : FORTIF. Talus incliné qui sert à couvrir et à masquer les approches et les ouvrages, à rendre l\'accès d\'une fortification plus difficile\"?
Equally fanciful, perhaps.

Sue is right.
\"exécuté au glacés à l\'huile\" = \"painted in an oil glaze technique.\"
\"GLAZE: 4. Painting. To cover (a painted surface) with a thin coat of a different transparent colour, so as to modify the tone without mixing. Also, to lay (a transparent colour) over another.\" --Thus the O.E.D.

glazed
I don't really know enough about painting, but in my dico. it says
"glacer: peint. Revetir d'une couleur brillante et transparente(une couleur déjà sèche)"
So it's probably not a typo.

Here\'s something that might be helpful: I found it when I was looking to see whatever \"ice cream impasto\" was.
Apparently glaze can be oil based - which would fit with the context.
