Early
American Colonists and Shakers painted their furniture and interiors with Milk
Paint using a formula that dated back to Ancient Egypt. Up until the middle
1800's paint was not sold commercially. People made their own. The most
common recipe contained milk protein, quicklime and earth pigments. Because
of the unique durability of Milk Paint, many fine examples still exist that
are hundreds of years old and whose finish is just as true as the day the
paint was applied. The
deep rich colors of our Milk Paint authentically reflect those colors found
on existing antique furniture and buildings. Our paint is made in small
batches, using earth pigments. Modern paints cannot compare with the colors
and the texture of the finish for achieving the "old" or
"country look" of Colonial or Shaker furniture and interiors. And,
like the paints used hundreds of years ago, the colors in our Milk Paint will
not fade. Advantages ·
