Vintage Mahogany Bureau
This vintage mahogany bureau was a client’s own commission, and came into the studio with one leg hanging by a thread! Following some strategic reassembly, the upper part was completely dismantled to allow for a full inside-out transformation. Outside, the drawer fronts, top, sides and bureau panel were sanded back to reveal the gorgeous natural wood, before an ambitious quadruple-layered custom stencil of stargazer lilies was applied in plum, pinks and silver. A different bespoke floral stencil was created for the drawers, then inside a further series of custom stencils is revealed, depicting sweet peas alongside the word “Relax”, as this piece will be used in my client’s home-spa business. The inside is finished off with bright sunshine yellow borders and gorgeous garden themed paper.
