All Gemma’s mirrors, boxes and furniture are hand painted with one off images. They are primed, with at least three coats, painted and then varnished. The mirrors and boxes range from £4 to £40. Reconditioned furniture prices depend on the type, and amount of work done. For new images of work, upcoming events and prices for individual pieces, please visit her page at www.facebook.com/petriesknickknack
Commissions are very much welcomed. Gemma will take an old piece of furniture and hand paint panels or drawers with original images. If you have an old wardrobe, chair, or chest of drawers that could do with a new lease of life, or are looking for a particular item of furniture and would like something unusual please get in touch.
