Painted Huntboard (Sideboard)
Built to look as though it has been around for generations, this painted huntboard is a strong and expressive piece well suited to a dining room. It is constructed with substantial internal structure to support fully loaded drawers across a long span.
A hand-shaped bead detail surrounds the drawer openings and end panel frames, catching the light beautifully. The top features a thumbnail edge that shows especially well against the worn edges of the paint.
The piece is built of cherry and finished with black milk paint, followed by oil, gel varnish, and a final linseed oil and beeswax topcoat. The paint was intentionally worn before sealing, allowing the red tones of the cherry to show through and give the surface a warm glow. The degree of wear can be adjusted to suit your preference on a commissioned piece.
