About the Jean Essentials Chest
Inspired by the quilting project of Jean Finly, a 75-year-old grandmother, the Jean Essentials Chest is sure to be the highlight of any room you place it in. 20 felt-lined drawers provide convenient storage while the hand-painted, patch-work quilt design gives it a timeless appeal.
About Ultimate Accents Inc.
Ultimate Accents Inc. crafts hand painted furniture using techniques very similar to traditional 18th century techniques of using gesso, paint and other surface applications. Their factories produce their own raw case pieces. Most pieces are made of medium density fiberboard with solid wood legs. It is then covered with gesso, which is a kind of plaster, and sanded to a smooth finish. The gesso technique creates a smooth surface for the paint application. The piece then goes to the artist who applies the primary base and hand painted design. Ultimate Accents does not use airbrushes or stencils. Lastly, an application of darkening solutions and acrylic topcoats is applied that give the piece its patina and character.
