General Finishes

All hail the Sea Queen from the lost city of Atlantis. This small wardrobe/armoire is a treasure to behold. The myriad colors of the ocean swirl in magical ways about the surface interspersed with flecks of gold like glittering coins from a sunken treasure chest or the sun playing on the ocean waves. Bright pink of coral peek through the crackled, sea battered surface as rough as the wood of a sea wrecked ship. The interplay of color and texture make this piece unique and the antithesis of factory finished furniture. The crackles in the paint create a story. All of it's flaws make it sublime. The interior has a whitewashed, removable shelf, clothes hanging rod, and two cubby spaces. The 24kt gold plated, cut crystal glass knobs scintillate in the light like diamonds in the rough. I used a lot of layers of paint, crackling, and used a putty knife to create more texture. The front has patina which creates the swirling blue, green, and white colors like the sea. A little bit of gold leaf catches the light. The gold plated base of the cut crystal glass knobs is so scintillating. They're like diamonds refracting the light. It's a quality knob from D. Lawless Hardware. The transfer is from Iron Orchid Designs.
