THIS REALLY SWEET LITTLE PAINTED VANITY CABINET WITH IT’S DAINTY PROPORTIONS WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL GUEST ROOM PIECE OR YOUNG GIRLS FIRST VANITY. THE CABINET HAS BEEN HAND PAINTED IN AN ANTIQUE SWEDISH STYLE WITH ALL THE GENTLE BLEMISHES AND PATANATION CREATED IN THE PAINT FINISH TO REFLECT AN AGED OLD ANTIQUE PIECE. THE PAINT COLOUR IS A SUBTLE SLIGHTLY GREYED OFF WHITE AND EXTREMELY REMINICIENT AND CLOSELY MATCHED TO AN ORGINIAL ANTIQUE SWEDISH PAINT COLOUR. THE FINISH REFLECTS A VARIATION IN PAINT COVERAGE, RANGING FROM THE MORE OPAQUE TO A SLIGHTLY SHEER FINISH TO REFLECT THE WEAR WHICH WOULD HAVE ACCRUED OVER THE CENTURIES OF CAREFUL USE AND ENJOYMENT.

IT IS A PETITE PIECE, WHICH WOULD LOOK WONDERFUL IN MANY ROOMS AND SITUATIONS AS IT MAY NOT BE DESIRED AS A VANITY. RAISED UPON GENTLY TAPERING SQUARED LEGS AND SPADE FEET THIS EDWARDIAN ANTIQUE IS MANUFACTURED IN SATINWOOD, FEATURING A LOVELY SERPENTINE SHAPING, WITH A CUPBOARD ENCLOSED BY TWO DOORS. WHEN THE TABLE TOP IS RAISED IT REVEALS A FITTED INTERIOR OF 6 SMALL COMPARTMENTS WHICH IS ENCLOSED IN A DUMMY DRAWER. THE ORIGINAL KEY HOLE ESCUTCHEONS REMAIN AND THE LOCKS WORK WELL WITH THE ORIGNAL KEY. I HAVE LEFT THE ORIGINAL SATINWOOD FINISH AS IS INSIDE THE CABINET.

ON SALE AT A FRACTION OF AN ORIGINAL GUSTAVIAN SWEDISH ANTIQUE PIECE, IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE THE REAL THING!

——————————————

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.
