Annie Sloan Athenian Black Chalk Paint is a deep black shade developed to echo the opaque figures and dramatic silhouetted shapes painted on Ancient Greek ceramics. This colour can look amazing on furniture to create a modern or antique feel. It works very well when creating a worn effect and also is perfect when using stencils.
Annie Sloan Athenian Black Chalk Paint is a deep, rich black inspired by the opaque figures and dramatic silhouettes found on Ancient Greek ceramics. This striking colour creates a bold finish on furniture and works equally well in modern, industrial and antique-inspired interiors.
