Michou Thick Wood Bowl Polished In White

This statement wooden bowl designed by South African artist Michou Osterwald brings a classic, modern element to any space. Showcasing a polished white gold leaf interior it brings texture and warmth to your home. Unique handcrafted one-off design items are a must for the discerning homemaker. As gold and silver are precious and the process of water-gilding is so precise and complex, gilding has historically been reserved for formal or grand contexts such as as in churches, frames for valuable paintings and palaces. Osterwald has broken away from tradition, by adorning very simply carved raw wooden objects with the same elaborate gilding. The wooden bowls in themselves are precious.
