QO
    This little cabinet looks like an apprentice piece. It measures only H22cm-W20cm-D9.5cm. I always think that all my pieces are really exercises in new ideas I like to create, as every single item I make is unique. It is made of wood and it opens up to show an interior room. The walls are painted with delicate slender trees in blossom. The lattice which frames the room is made of real wood simulating a continental garden in spring. You can see it in the OCG exhibition currently at Oxfordshire Museum at Woodstock, open until 30 December 2023. For more, please click on my card. Thank you. Gabriella
