Richmond, London – hand painted and drag effect wardrobe

This is an account by Barrie Thompson, Traditional Painter London, about painting and dragging a Smallbones wardrobe in Richmond

My latest remit is in the heart of leafy London, where I am transforming a lady’s and gent’s wardrobe in a Georgian town house in Richmond using Nordic Paint’s Antique White for a dragged effect finish.

The wardrobe is a symmetrical accent feature taking up one whole wall.

It is first sanded and cleaned thoroughly using baking soda wipes to prepare the substrate for painting. The base layers of paint are applied and left to dry for the recommended 8 hours

The tinted glaze is applied by flock roller and the finish is created with a hog hair dragging brush

Finally the varnish is brushed on with a Taklon filament brush to seal and complete the finish.

What a transformation!
