Commissioned Box in Wild Heather and multiple Vintro coloured waxes in a Rustic finish
Regular price $0.00A plain chest commissioned to be a character feature in our clients room. Our client wanted colour, she wanted character and asked if we could do something with a plain chest and the answer was yes. The colours used were drawn from a cushion she brought in for us as inspiration as she wanted it to be bold in colour but still soft enough to place in a bedroom.
Hand-painted in a rustic textured finish in Wild Heather then a series of coloured waxes & ageing techniques along with stencilling and appliques has completely transformed a plain chest into something with character, interest and revived pulling all the colours out from existing textiles in the room to give it purpose. A great before and after and a great showcase of the many ways to revive something plain into a feature.
What we did:
- Hand-painted in Wild Heather using a Staalmeester2020 synthetic brush
- aged and depth created using the following coloured waxes : Victorian Black, Orchid, Paris Blue, Sun flower yellow, Corallium and Eden
- Champagne gilding detailing using Champagne gold Gilding wax from The Artisan Company
