Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ – EMPEROR'S SILK

Emperor's Silk is a vibrant red Chalk Paint™ like the pop of colour of a silk lining in a tailored jacket. It is inspired by the red of Chinese lacquer, especially when deepened with Black Chalk Paint® Wax. If you are nervous to use it on the outside of a piece, why not use it in the interior of a cupboard or drawer for a pop of colour.  Red always looks beautiful paired with greens and taupes too! 

In 1990, frustrated with the lack of decorative furniture paint options available at the time, Annie created the iconic, revolutionary Chalk Paint™. The invention of Chalk Paint™ resulted from Annie’s need for a paint that could be used to achieve endless decorative effects – and quickly.

Chalk Paint™ satisfies that brief perfectly, as it can be applied to wood, glass, metal, brick and even laminate, left to dry, and then waxed within one day. With its remarkable versatility and ease of use – for everyone from the amateur DIYer to the professional interior designer to enjoy.
