THIS SIMPLY STUNNING CLASSICALLY STYLED CHEST OF DRAWERS, ALTHOUGH A CLOSE COPY OF THE GUSTAVIAN STYLE COMMODE, IS AN ANTIQUE IN IT’S OWN RIGHT AND HAS SOME AGE AND CHARACTER TO IT. IT IS ARTISAN HAND PAINTED BY MYSELF IN A SHADE OF SCANDINAVIAN WHITE WHICH IS VERY MUCH ASSOCIATED WITH 19TH CENTURY SWEDISH FUNITURE WITH A TRADITIONAL BLUE GREY FOLK ART STENCIL DESIGN ON EACH DRAWER. THE DRAWERS ARE ALSO RUSTICALLY LINED WITH THE SAME BLUE GREY SHADE WHICH GIVES THEM EXTRA DEFINITION. TRADITIONALLY ANTIQUED FOR A RUSTIC AGED FEEL . THE PIECE IS RAISED UPON SLENDER SQUARED LEGS AND FEATURES A 3 DRAWER ARRANGEMENT. ORGINAL HANDLES AND WORKING CASTORS.

THIS GORGEOUS PIECE OF FURNITURE HAS BEEN HAND PAINTED, AGED AND ANTIQUED TO SIMULATE AN APPEARANCE OF AGE OLD PERFECTION AND USAGE. TECHNIQUES BORNE OUT OF YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, PRACTICE AND EXPERIMENTATION IN PAINTING FURNITURE TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS. THE WONDERFUL PATINATION NOW CREATED ON THIS PIECE IS WONDERFULLY TACTILE TO THE TOUCH AND ADDS A DEPTH OF CHARACTER SYNONYMOUS WITH RUSTIC CHARM. ALL MY PIECES OF A MORE “RUSTIC PAINTED” NATURE AND SUBTLE NEUTRAL COLOUR, PERFECTLY COMPLIMENT THE EASY RELAXED INTERIORS OF TODAY’S COUNTRY STYLE HOMES. I PERSONALLY LOVE THE WELL WORN, LIVED WITH, HONEST FUNCTIONALITY OF THESE PIECES AS WELL AS THE ELEGANT TRADITIONAL CHARM OF THE TYPE OF INTERIOR IN WHICH THEY ARE RENOWNED.

“A SUBSTANTIAL, LOVELY PIECE OF FURNITURE PERFECTLY SUITED TO ANY RUSTIC SETTING, BE THAT A PERIOD COTTAGE, FARMHOUSE OR MORE MODERN MINIMALIST PROPERTY.”

HOW DURABLE IS THE FINISH

ALL MY PIECES FINISHED IN WAX WILL STAND UP TO “NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR” WE ADVISE YOU TO TREAT YOUR PIECE OF FURNITURE AS YOU WOULD A FINE ANTIQUE. AVOID EXCESSIVE WATER AND SCRATCHY OBJECTS. USE COASTERS UNDER WATER GLASSES ON TABLE TOPS. CLEAN WITH A SOFT CLOTH AND AVOID ALL LIQUID FURNITURE POLISHES. FOLLOWING THIS SIMPLE ADVICE WILL ENSURE THAT YOUR PIECE STAYS LOOKING GOOD FOR YEARS TO COME.

VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE ITEMS VERY OFTEN SHOW SIGNS OF THEIR PREVIOUS LIFE WHICH MAY INCLUDE KNOCKS, LUMPS, BUMPS, SMALL GAPS, REPAIRS, HISTORIC WOODWORM HOLES (ALWAYS TREATED AS A PRECAUTION), CHIPS ETC THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT. THESE IN MY OPINION ONLY ADD TO THE CHARACTER AND AUTHENTICITY OF THE FURNITURE.
