Hand painted chests come in a really broad range of colors and designs and what you get in artistic quality depends very much on how much you want to spend. Designer hand painted chests will obviously cost you a great deal more than something factory made and mass produced will, but at least you will know that you have something this is likely to be unique. The more you pay, the more say you have when it comes to shape, design and color and the better the quality you can expect, but that doesn’t mean to say that a mass produced hand painted chest of drawers will always be of inferior quality.
Take for example, special bespoke hand painted chests designed and crafted by artists, and very expensive. There are hand painted bombe chest designs with traditional floral effects, or modern geometrical patterns, and even gold leaf and pictorial hand painted chests. The choice is very much up to you if you are willing to pay for something done by an artist. Some companies offer a range of shapes of different kinds of custom hand painted chests and you, as the customer choose what color and design you would like painted on it. Choose from a bombe shape, ferrara chest, commode shape, or even an armoire shape. Savona and Cortona tall chests, and bow fronted chests, can be hand painted in bold eye catching colors or done in a more understated way with pastel colors and little flowers.
