Default Emulsion paint on top of gloss?

Hi,

We have painted a bedroom with matt emulsion paint, but there is a
wooden batten for the curtain rail, painted in white gloss. SWMBO
wishes the batten to blend in. It is OK to overpaint the batten with
the emulsion by just sanding or will the paint not 'take'?

TIA, Mark

It will take fine after a bit of sanding.
