Description
For the discerning collector who understands that furniture is wearable art, Turtle and Crane presents this breathtaking vintage rattan etagère, elevated through our bespoke restoration process.
This architectural piece showcases classic Chippendale lattice fretwork and is reborn with a custom, hand-applied faux Lapis finish. The deep, dimensional blue creates an effect of polished stone and dark glamour, ensuring this etagère commands attention while anchoring any space. The high-gloss finish enhances the detailed rattan bindings, transforming a simple tropical form into a piece of luxurious maximalist sculpture.
Perfect for showcasing curated collections of Chinoiserie porcelain, leather-bound books, or statement lighting (like our available Lucite lamps). This piece is the epitome of Tony Duquette-inspired luxury and Palm Beach Regency chic. It offers extraordinary scale and an unforgettable texture that simply cannot be found in new furniture.
