Royal Dresser, Handcrafted by Rafael Calvo using Pecky Cypress and Gold Leaf
About the Item
Designed and handcrafted by Rafael Calvo, the Royal Dresser features Pecky Cypress, different reclaimed woods, and gold leaf. The wood is bleached to give it a lighter tone and finished with a non-toxic oil finish. The Royal Dresser has a timeless allure and blurs the line between art and functional decor. The unique, organic texture appearance of the Pecky Cypress results from the tree being attacked by a natural fungus that creates hollow tubes running vertically throughout the tree's heart while it is alive; once the tree is harvested, the pecking remains stable. These oblong holes give it a character that differentiates it from any other wood. Pecky Cypress is salvaged from the riverbeds and is very rare. It is highly durable and is resistant to rot and insects. As with all of Rafael’s pieces, this is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted, sustainable piece; no two pieces of furniture are the same.

- Fascinasia Dining Table, Handcrafted by Rafael Calvo using Reclaimed WoodBy Rafael Calvo StudioLocated in Miami, FLThe Fascinasia Table was a collaborative work with Canadian artist Daniel Stanford. The artwork incorporated within the table is a unique blend of photography with collage elements and precise application of gold leaf, watercolor, Chinese ink, acrylic paint, raw pigments, and resin. It is based on a 2016 photograph, shot by Daniel, of an award-winning Oldenburg Breed Stallion Jumping Horse named Starmont. Embedded in the painting is a segment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore. Stanford's use of archival materials reflects the sequence of the five elements - wood, fire, and earth; earth gives birth to gold, gold creates water, and water makes wood.

- MCM 6 Drawer Dresser Framed Arch Mirror by Dillingham Walnut & Pecky CypressBy Dillingham Manufacturing CompanyLocated in Topeka, KSFabulous vintage Mid Century Modern 6 drawer dresser with framed arch mirror by Dillingham Manufacturing Company. Comprised of a walnut case rustic pecky cypress drawers, and a recessed black painted plinth/floating base. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, one drawer front had missing wood that was repaired with filler & colored to match. There is a fresh coat of black on the base but no poly finish. We are happy to do that upon request. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century. NOTE: We have this Dillingham 6 drawer dresser and mirror listed here separately if you are only interested in purchasing one or the other. Profound style, Pleasing Presence, AND Pecky Cypress? YES!!! This dresser is ALL OF THAT!!! (and maybe a little more!!) While there are plenty of dressers in this world… occasionally you come across a dresser with style that presides over the others…like this marvelous vintage 6 drawer dresser...Category

- Lam Lee Memphis Style Silver and Gold Leaf Dresser Lingerie ChestBy Ettore SottsassLocated in Chattanooga, TNEqually beautiful as anything hanging in the Guggenheim and deserved the respect. Exquisitely crafted by Lam Lee. Covered from head to toe in a mix of gold leaf, silver leaf and hand painted lacquer designs. The faux coral wood pulls are so convincingly organic that you have to touch them to believe it's not actually shell. Deep drawers on metal glides are interior lined in black velvet. It's not easy to categorize this look, so we sent a pic to the scientists at NASA (not really), they crunched some numbers and here's the completely arguable composition breakdown. 50% Memphis 20% Neo deco...Category
