Black Wax
Gilly’s Black Wax is a richly pigmented antiquing wax designed to create depth, contrast, and character on timber and painted surfaces. Made from a natural blend of waxes, oils, and carbon black pigment, it delivers a true black finish that enhances grain and highlights detail.
This versatile wax can be applied directly to raw timber for a black-washed, stained effect, or used over existing finishes to create a subtle aged or antique look. It’s especially effective on chalk and mineral paint finishes, where the pigment settles into textures, carvings, and edges to emphasise detail.
