| "Old World Cherry" finish, black stone top
The chest is an English design that is styled after a bankers chest. It features a multi-step hand applied faux finish that simulates an antique "narrow board" cherry pattern. The finish is antiqued and distressed. The pilasters are done in a contrasting faux gold leaf finish. the pilasters are hand carved with a reeded shaft topped by a rosette. The chest includes four working drawers and two curved doors on the ends. The curved doors have simulated drawer fronts on them to match the design detail of the front. The unit is a demilune shape (French for half round) and often would have been used in pairs , back to back, in a banks business lobby area. The metal hardware is finished in antique brass color and is a lion head with ring design.
The unit is constructed of MDF because of its ability to be shaped to the half round design. The frame is made of hardwood as are the carved posts. The top is a locally quarried Chinese black marble with both white and gray veins. The top is a low sheen polished finish with a protective polyurethane top coat to minimize the potential for stains. The top is attached using a binary glue to assure a tight seal of the stone top to the case body.
