The blue ground is worked over with gold in a dry brush, dragged rather than laid, so the gold catches only on the raised grain and the blue stays visible underneath. From across a room it reads as a single weathered blue-green. From two feet away it separates into two colours. It is the same distressing technique that makes old painted shutters look the way they do, done deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre, a pair of gold doors cut as a pointed jharokha arch and pierced with quatrefoil and teardrop openings, hung on brass hinges over a glass mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Blue Ridge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of five panels, each named for an American landscape and painted in its colours. The Blue Ridge takes its name from the haze that sits on those mountains, and that is what this finish is after: blue that is not quite blue, seen through weather. The others are Emerald Yosemite, Amber Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone Mist and the White House.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst wood, brick or warm plaster, where the blue has something to push against. It has been hung over a mantel, in a hotel-style formal room and at an apartment entrance between planters — all three are in the photographs. Because it can be displayed closed, it also works where a mirror facing the bed or the front door is unwanted for Vastu reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHanging it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bracket is fitted to the back. At 1.8 kg, with doors that swing, use a screw into a stud or a rated drywall anchor. Screws and wall anchors are not supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust with a dry, soft brush. Glass cleaner on the centre mirror only, applied to the cloth, never sprayed at the distressed finish. Do not oil the hinges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the doors really open?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, on brass hinges, onto a mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it signed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — on the reverse, in ink, beneath the artist’s printed studio label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the distressing a defect?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. It is applied on purpose and by hand, which means the pattern of it differs from panel to panel. If you want an even finish, the White House panel in the same series is the smoother one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this differ from Yellowstone Mist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSame doors, same size, same price. Thunderstorm has a plain distressed field around the doors. Yellowstone Mist fills that field with a gold lattice inlaid with mirror tiles — considerably busier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order several?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor hospitality, galleries, corporate gifting or a commissioned set, email contact@urliutsav.com.
