Commissioned Sideboard
A beautiful sideboard purchased by our client from The Artisan Collection and finished in a colour and style to suit. Looking for a feature piece in her room she approached us to create a feature piece for her space. With beautiful floor to ceiling grey sheers along with a feature gold sputnik style chandelier. The piece was to introduce some soft colour into the room whilst toning in with the grey sheers.
Beautifully hand painted in Aurora Chalk Paint with subtle texture using a Staalmeester 20/20 brush we then aged the piece with a blended wax of clear and dark mixed together. A dove coloured wax was then applied to soften the entire look and add a lovely grey hue. The carved detailing around the door was then detailed in gold in full as our client wanted a strong gold presence on the piece.
