Period Paints and Effects Mr KERRISON'S interest in period houses over the years - inside and out - has led him to the application of period paints and effects.
The range of finishes used in homes around the world through the ages has been suprisingly extensive. For example, a wall may be decorated using anything from colour washes of simple paints (made from local ingredients like lime-milk or milk, mixed with natural pigments extracted from earth or plants), through to the most elegant elaborate and painted wallpapers, and modern-day paints used in traditional ways. Mr Kerrison has always felt that many aspects combine together to evoke a period feel, interior or exterior. The architectural detail, the fixtures and fittings, the furniture and the fabrics - all these should not be neglected. But arguably the most important influence on a period mood is the decorative treatment provided by paints and papers, stains and varnishes.		Such decorative finishes need not be expensive to re-create. Many effects can be achieved convincingly at modest expenditure - and will look stunning. Your preference may be for a timeless, "as new" recreation of the original - using bright gilding, for example. Or you may opt for finishes that are aged and distressed, so that they appear to have been carried out in a previous century... We hope you will take the chance to look at our Historic Period photos and samples, and so discover how effectively one can create a real flavour of the past. Mr. Kerrison is able to create a finish to suit any period - whether internal or external. If you would like free samples and a further discussion, please do call Mr Kerrison and arrange a visit to our decorating shop - or for Mr Kerrison to make a no-obligation visit you. Catalogues, photos, ageing samples, will all be available for view.
