Original and distinctive French table box; it is made of colored epoxy resin and velvet interior; the decoration on the box is a severely geometric composition, with abstract images combined with colors and lines; the interior is lined with black velvet. Epoxy resin was used for its creation, a material that allows those who use it to make objects of any shape but more to imagine and devise thousands of colors and imaginative effects; on our box, wood effects and refined colors were chosen. Epoxy resin is a versatile and durable material commonly used in craft and art projects including the creation of decorative objects such as colored boxes, table tops with a wood flaming effect, or imitating stones such as malachite or marble (See example photos of objects published in furniture magazines). Epoxy resins are thermosetting polymers that, when mixed, undergo a chemical reaction that results in a hard, rigid material with excellent adhesion, clarity, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and UV light. The liquid part of epoxy resin usually consists of two components: a base resin and a hardener. When these two parts are mixed in the correct ratio, they trigger a chemical reaction that causes the mixture to harden; pigments or coloring agents are added to achieve the desired effect, at which point the resin can be spread, before it hardens, on a surface or obtain objects by casting. The curing time may vary depending on the epoxy resin used, but it generally takes from a few hours to a day. After the resin has cured, the surface can be sanded to remove any imperfections or uneven spots, followed by careful brushing to achieve a shiny, glossy finish. The production of decorative objects from colored epoxy resin gained popularity in the late 20th century, with a significant increase in the use of resin for various applications, including arts and crafts. The popularity of this technique, which has gradually evolved, has grown throughout the European continent, and various artists and craftsmen have chosen epoxy resin as a means of creating unique and vibrant decorative objects. This trend has spread throughout Europe, and countries such as Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France have made significant contributions to the application of epoxy resin in art. Our box was made between 1995 and 2000 in a specialized workshop in Paris, France. The artisans created a work of extraordinary and engaging vivacity that with its joyful freshness and high decorative effect lends itself to easy placement in any room of the home. The box is in excellent condition. Measures width cm.32, depth cm.20 height cm.10. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects. less
