This French Provincial style highboy dresser is the newest addition to our boutique. It’s got such great character and charm. I love the original hardware, and the great antique gold finish that has aged and crackled just perfectly. It is offered at $425.

I absoloutlely love this. How would one create the same effect? Are you crackling varnish or another color of paint. Just beautiful!

Hi Maryanne, I didn’t actually paint this one. Found it as is! I think you could achieve a similar look though with a cream base coat, the use of crackle, and a top layer of an antique gold. You might even use gold leaf and then rub it wish a watered down dark brown and/or black paint to give it an aged affect.
