Louise Semainier Linen Presses in Smooth Antique Bronze by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Size- 24"x 16"x 66"H Materials - Antique White Bronze, Metal sheet, Teak, Wood, Metal Techniques: Hand-Crafted, Hand-Carved, Metal Work, Wood Work, Metal Wrapping, Polished Please note that moisture in air, sudden change in temperature and natural movement of wood over time causes the metal to wrinkle or bubble up. We use well seasoned, reclaimed teak and high quality marine grade MDF (wherever technically possible) to avoid and delay the mentioned changes. However a perfect stability of metal cannot be guaranteed. Please note that our smooth finish metal clad pieces will have some unavoidable tool marks. This is proof that everything is done by hand. The smooth finish will not come out like a machine made perfect surface and the master artisan will do their best to make it look as good/clean/stable/perfect as he possibly can. The antique white bronze finish is hand done by using an acidic chemical over the white bronze finish to recreate a natural patination. Like with the natural patination of silver, copper, or brass, the final result and color uniformity of the patina cannot be guaranteed. The goal of this finish is to achieve rainbow-like shades with dull, shiny, cloudy, and streaky patches to give an illusion of antiquing. Please note: None of our metal clad pieces are treated with a protective “finish” thus enabling the items to age naturally over time. We will of course polish them well before we pack them. a) Copper oxidizes faster than the other metals. In six to twelve months it will most likely lose its shine and will gradually turn to different shades of brown and/or green/blue. This aging process and its effect is referred to as verdigris. After a year the piece should not change much more. Copper does not rust, but does require periodic cleaning in order to retain its original shine if that the preferred option. ('BRASSO' or any known copper polish can be used to polish copper). b) Brass retains its shine for far longer than others, but will tarnish if not cleaned on occasion. ('BRASSO' is made to polish brass). c) White bronze, has the least tendency to show age or tarnish. If kept in a controlled climate, this metal will hold its shine for years. It can be cleaned with a cleanser and polished with a cloth. d) The antiqued white bronze finish will react with the natural elements the fastest in the beginning but it too will stop reacting and will settle down in a stable state like copper after 6-12 months. Since it is already antiqued and looked like it is tarnished, as described in an earlier message, this fast reaction will not change the over all look. In that way this surface is most forgiving.

  • Antique Liegoise Country French Buffet, Linen Press
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Antique Liegoise Country French buffet ~ linen press is a remarkable example of the incredibly high quality of furnishings produced in the storied region around Liege. A manufacturing and marketing center for hundreds of years, it lies in the French speaking southeastern portion of what is today called Belgium. The traditions of the finest hand-craftsmanship predate the last several geopolitical designations, with techniques that produced sturdy pieces from the local old-growth oak. This example combines styling influence from the Louis XIII, Louis XIV and Louis XV styles, spanning over two centuries of artistic expression in wood. The wood has been painstakingly stripped using our proprietary process that retains the natural patina of the wood and presents a soft presence in the room. Mitered corners and a step-front center section produce visual appeal from all angles. Two commodious cabinets and a total of six spacious drawers attain a functionality that makes it extremely versatile. Cast brass key guards accentuate the facade, which includes a center tier of bowfront drawers...
