SPECIAL PAINT FINISHES KIT
During the '70s I went to two 3 month courses on special paint finishes, taught by Leonard Pardon in a studio behind Knightsbridge. I was very keen on painted and decorative furniture and thought it would be interesting to study the genre. I have kept the kit ever since and it is time to pass it on - it is very complete with about 20 special brushes of all sizes - some are sable, camel, badger, and so on. There is also a big set of metal combs for graining in a metal sleeve and a Faber Castell drawing set for plans and diagrams (unused!), lots of paints probably too dry for use now, not forgetting the invaluable white goose feathers! There is a large file of pictures, recipes and notes from other special effect experts. I remember the brushes were very expensive, so we had to take particular care in keeping them clean, soft and supple. I will sell the lot (a biggish box-full) for £35. Seen and collected near Bath. Contact E.Baer 01225 866 136 (eves) or dbaer@onetel.com The kit is now SOLD
