These knobs are beautiful with the relief detail! I knew upon ordering these that I’d likely want to paint them to better coordinate for a client’s project. As purchased, the knobs gave too much contrast so I painted only the raised border and raised leaf detail. Then I covered the entire knob with polyurethane to keep the paint intact. My client and me love the outcome! 
Originally, this little chest was covered w/ an antique silver metal and the three drawers had mirror fronts. Over the years the mirror fronts had gotten broken and had been replaced multiple times. We decided to go in a different direction instead of paying again for beveled mirrors, and instead of getting rid of the chest altogether. My client’s home has more gold details than silver, so I painted this giving it an antique gold finish. Now she no longer wants to just be rid of it!
