Like deep Parma violets or blue lavender, Old Violet is a wonderful 18th Century colour inspired by the colours of ancient Rome. Beautiful on its own or paired with red for a little Parisian boho. Now a global phenomenon, Annie Sloan first developed the Chalk Paint® range (named for its velvety, ultra matt finish) in 1990 to create a versatile paint that would work beautifully on furniture without priming or sanding; that would be easy to use and quick to dry; and that could be used for a number of different paint techniques. At Petticoat Lane, we are proud to have been Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® stockists for 9 years and have extensive experience and knowledge in all of the possible techniques and finishes. Our shop is always filled with painted pieces and we offer official Annie Sloan Workshops. We are passionate about the brand and everything that can be achieved with a paint and products that is both easy to use and of such quality that we also believe it to be a true artisan pain
