I thought they were covered in Shark's Skin....
One of the most special pieces of furniture that I have ever seen was a small French Art Deco bar ( celery green colored ) that I found in Paris on rue Jacob.
It was covered in Shark's Skin and the lines of the piece were so simple yet clearly Deco. It even had the original tassel with a single semi-precious gemstone on each door pull. It only measured about 38 H x 24 W, the cost on it was $ 123,000.00.
I couldn't justify the cost to my client , ( I certainly tried) so I took a pass on that one.
Believe me, I looked all over for my picture of it.....sorry, no luck. If I ever find it I will post it.
You will just have do with these, but believe me these are less costly !!!!!
( the console is about $695.00 )
This collection of tables look like 'Shark's Skin' .
On this collection from Gump's , the ground color is chocolate with broken eggshells sealed into the surface.
This is covered in Real Shark's Skin.I find the similarity unbelievable!!
If you can achieve the same look with broken eggshells, who cares?
These are from Gumps www.gumps.com
