Frenchic Furniture Paint
Used & Recommended by Antique Pine Imports
Frenchic Paint is the furniture paint we use and recommend when finishing selected pieces of antique pine in our own workshop.
It offers excellent coverage, a beautifully soft finish, and works exceptionally well with solid wood and traditional furniture — enhancing the character of older timber rather than masking it.
If it wasn’t suitable for antique pine, we simply wouldn’t stock it.
Why we stock Frenchic Paint
We’ve restored and sold antique pine furniture for over 30 years. During that time, we’ve tested countless finishes and paints — and very few meet our standards.
Frenchic stands apart because it:
• Performs exceptionally well on solid, older timber
• Provides excellent coverage with minimal preparation
• Is water-based, low odour, and pleasant to use
• Cures to a durable, practical finish suitable for everyday furniture
This is the same paint we use on selected wardrobes, dressers, cupboards and tables that leave our Chester workshop.
A carefully chosen range — not simply everything available
Rather than stocking every colour available, we focus on a considered selection we know works beautifully with antique pine and traditional interiors.
Our range prioritises:
• Furniture paints suitable for genuine antique pine
• Calm, neutral and heritage-appropriate tones
• Colours and finishes proven in our own workshop
• Finishes that complement, rather than overpower, period furniture
Additional colours may be introduced over time, but our priority will always remain suitability and quality — not volume.
See Frenchic paint on genuine antique furniture
Many of the painted pieces shown on our website and in our showroom are finished using Frenchic Paint.
Seeing paint applied to real Victorian and antique pine furniture gives a far more accurate impression than colour charts alone — helping you choose with confidence.
We recommend browsing our painted wardrobes, dressers and cupboards for real-world examples.
Advice based on real restoration experience
We’re always happy to advise whether Frenchic is the right option for your piece — and just as importantly, when it isn’t.
Not every antique item should be painted, and we’ll always give honest guidance based on the individual piece.
That honest approach is exactly why we chose to stock Frenchic Paint.
