Art Deco Linen Chest







A lovely oak art deco linen chest from the 1930's as it was when it came to us 'in the brown'

Recently completed, this lovey old chest has had the top sanded back and waxed using Hannants Clear Wax to show the warmth of the Oak.  The outside has been painted using a knocked back version of Annie Sloan Old Ochre and inside Annie Sloan Versaille 




Just look at the difference

But when you look more closely its the way the colour transforms the detailed craftsmanship of the original maker which really makes this a stunning piece







This lovely old chest is currently for sale on our Etsy Shop
