Painting
When we paint pieces for you, we let you choose from our six basic paint colours – shown below – or you may specify your own for a small additional charge of £25.00. Please visit “Questions” for more information on special colours. Our 6 House Colours are all neutral tones designed to harmonise with most situations so normally one of these will work! We lightly drag an antiqueing glaze over the top to soften the look further and bring out the details of the various mouldings and carvings that we use. The paint and glaze is then given further protection using a number of coats of satin lacquer. Drawer runners are waxed to make them run smoothly.
An example of a piece we have lightly distressed, painted on tram lines and then given an antique wax finish to in lieu of our standard glaze can be seen at the bottom of the page. Please contact us for details of prices as this will vary from piece to piece and on the level of distressing etc required.
Handles
Please see “Questions” for handle options – the picture below shows some of the handles which we use ourselves, or we are delighted to fit handles supplied by you on painted pieces only.
