Hand painted bedroom furniture



Newly built hand painted wardrobes in Teynham near Faversham.. I applied the primer and undercoat in the joinery shop. After installation they were finished with two topcoats of Sikkens Satura BL. Although not the easiest to apply, this paint was specified for its low odour, quick drying and exceptional finish. The door handles are from Bombay Duck.

Gilding - Silver Leaf Mirror Frame



This mirror was originally gold. Re-gilded in genuine silver leaf. Silver will tarnish so a protective varnish with some pigment in was applied to protect and give an aged look.
