Vintage Painted Shabby Chic Standard Lamp in Annie Sloan Cream and Gold Acrylic

A beautiful hand restored painted standard lamp.
The lamp is from the mid 20th Century. It will need to be rewired.
We have painted onto an existing finish 3 coats of an Annie Sloan cream chalk paint.
It has then been hand painted….no transfer….in an artist’s gold acrylic.
After drying we wet the finish and rub over with a damp cloth. This removes a really thin layer of paint and leaves the striped and distressed shabby chic finish leaving the edges with the wood showing through to boast a very contemporary finish.
I then varnish.
To varnish we use a ‘Polyvine’ varnish.
This is a child, pet and food safe varnish.
We apply two coats of a ‘dead flat finish’ and a ‘satin finish’ so the finish has a sheen to it.
