silverer
Applies reflective coating
A silverer is a person who applies silver coating to surfaces, especially mirrors or glass.
The trade was essential before modern manufacturing—silverers created the reflective backing on mirrors by depositing thin layers of silver onto glass.
The old silverer's hands were stained from years of working with the chemicals.
