Eva: Bespoke hand painted mid century modern table with decorative top
Eva is an artful piece created in the TR Studio, a bespoke hand painted and revived piece you will only find in the TR gallery. A midcentury modern piece given a beautiful revival with an "artful luxe" feel. A one of a kind piece of an artful side table with designer appeal now available for purchase in the TR Gallery. Eva is a stunning piece that will sit beautifully between two chairs, up against a wall on her own with decor or as side table up against a sofa. However you choose to place her she is a piece full of character, intrigue and elegance with a modern edgy touch. With her dark rich frame contrasting against her stunning table top she is a striking piece, the gloss finish brings out the different shades in her and turns the table top into a bit of Chameleon bringing out different shades and metallics depending on how the light is hitting it and which angle you are viewing her from, making her a real feature piece that will tone in with her surroundings.
What we did:
The surface has been lightly painted with Chalk Paint with Fine Stone (available from TR) applied with a spatula areas have been pressed to vary to texture.
Hand painted in French Navy over the Fine Stone
Lightly dry brushed with different shades of Vintro metallics: rose gold, gold, gold mixed with midnight, rose gold mixed with gold, gold mixed with silver.
We then applied a colour wash by diluting Christabelle Chalk Paint with water brushing over in areas and ragging.
Metallics were then dry brushed again in areas
The entire top given 2 coats of gloss lacquer
edges in french gold gilding wax
The beautiful rich matt velvety smooth legs and frame have been hand painted in Vintro No Seal Chalk Paint providing a stunning richness and depth to the finish.
