A Cabinet That’ll Lead You To The Yellow Brick Road
Made to evoke the magic of The Wizard of Oz, this cabinet features marquetry panels portraying iconic images from the 1939 movie: the Emerald City; the Yellow Brick Road; the Wizard’s balloon nearing the impending tornado; Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion strolling through the apple orchard; and of course flying monkeys soaring over a field of poppies. When an observer views the outside they easily recognize these black-and-white silhouette images. Then, when the cabinet door opens, the same images appear on the interior, in color, recalling the exciting transition when the film morphs from black-and-white into color as Dorothy steps out of the farmhouse into Oz.
