Annie Sloan Chalk Paint – Florence

Anniçe Sloan Florence chalk paint is a colour that was originally called Persian Green but has recently been relaunched as Florence.You know as soon as you open the tin and dip your brush in that this colour is something really special.
It is inspired by the colours of the copper green mineral and semi-precious stone, malachite,from the same family of stones as azurite and turquoise. In the 17th and 18th century it was used as a colour made with verdigris but as it is a very fugitive colour turning black with time so we are not aware of how it was used on woodwork in many houses. It is a classical colour which can be found in classic Italian furniture.

When I opened a tin my first thought was Oh Yes! What a wonderful colour. Now all I need to something to paint it on!! And I wasn’t content till I found something. It goes really well when used over the top of Barcelona Orange. The two colours compliment each other really well. Try using it with something gold. Wax or gold leaf – the effect is stunning.
