Hi all.
I want to paint a ceiling cornice in a deep brown colour but I
was thinking of achieving a 'faded' or 'worn' finish effect.
Anyone got any tips for this?

Thanks.

Vandyke crystals are used to age paper and cotton. Might be worth a try
with a clear varnish on top.

Charity shop, any of the vast range of books on the topic, mostly by
Jocasta Innes

Then practice on faked up samples of the same paint. Most of the
techniques are fairly simple, but they do need some practice to gain a
"light touch".
