25.01.2022 I have been working on this special piece for quite a few weeks. In between so much stuff happening behind the scenes at Our Little Gem including Viney's Place, our big girl moving away, and the pain I feel with my hands continually. In any case after so much deliberation I feel I am happy with this beauty. She started with the idea of simplicity and she did get a little lost however I found her coming back to the classic beauty that she is. At some point she travelled the... seas from the Northern Hemisphere as she does shows signs of oak. Over time I feel that some changes have happened and she has become a little bit of a mish mash although still beautiful. I do know that she lived in Albany WA for a long period of time. She served well in an iconic Bed & Breakfast known as Rosemont House. In recent times she made her way to Queensland. She is now in Harrisville and looking regal in our shop front. Her piecrust edging and veneer detail make her unique & special. She has been painted using Made By Paint - Chalk & Clay Furniture Paint - 'Emerald'. And then treated to nourishment and finished with Made By Paint - Finishing Oil - 'Walnut' Those beautiful bun feet gilded with Gold leafing along side her original handles. Her drawers are stenciled with French Script from My Stencil Lady and components of the Hokus Pokus Decorative Transfer - 'Baroque' This beauty 'Rosemont' is looking for her new abode. Delivery can be arranged at an additional cost. Afterpay is available. More pics in comments Measurements 1600mm wide 900mm tall 500mm deep Price $620
