'LAYLA' Tropical themed sideboard
A beautifully attractive, jungle themed sideboard. Upcycled to a high standard by hand in a shade of slate with feature panels of a tropical/jungle themed design inset within a silver - clay molding. The sideboard has two drawers and also two doors that open to reveal a lovely spacious storage space. The handles on both the drawers and the doors are finished in a matching silver that complements the silver molding.
This piece was pre-loved but still in excellent condition, so deserved to be preserved and upcycled as she still has many years left to serve her purpose.
I have worked extremely hard preparing this piece prior to hand-painting with a quality chalk paint, complimented by the silver decorative handles on the drawers. The silver clay molding has an aged look which gives this piece elegance and adds to the character and style.
The side panels have also been decorated, using the same technique as the drawer fronts, door fronts and interior surface of the cabinet and drawers. A particular craft called decoupage, with a stunning design of a leopard within a tropical jungle. Finally, finished with several coats of lacquer to ensure it is hardwearing and fit for purpose. 'Layla' has been upcycled to a high standard so that she can be enjoyed for many years to come.
Approx. Dimensions:
Height: 77cm (30.5")

Depth: 34 cm (15.5” inc. handles)
Please be aware
‘Layla’ has been lovingly restored by hand, by myself and with this in mind, was preloved and has had a previous life. You may find small signs of wear because when I work on individual pieces of furniture, I consider it a piece of artwork, therefore, I try to encapsulate the past along with maintaining the character. Also there may be slight imperfections or flaws due to the nature of the individual craft being used during the upcycling process which is completely carried out by hand. I believe all of these things to be features that add to the character and uniqueness of each piece I recreate.
