How To Paint Black Furniture-A Dozen Examples Of Exceptional Black Painted Furniture

A Louis XV Gilt Bronze Mounted Black Lacquer Chinoiserie Commode. 100x100 How To Paint Black Furniture A Dozen Examples Of Exceptional Black Painted FurnitureBlack furniture has been one of the most popular furniture paint colors in history, and a close second is white.  Today, no other color comes close to these two basic colors which always seem to be a public favorite.
No matter what the style is, black paint has been fashionable choice for French furniture,and also for primitive early American, regency and modern furniture.   While the color of the furniture the same, the surrounds of these distinct styles are polar opposite requiring a different finish application.
Early American furniture is often shown with distressing around the edges. Wear and tear is found surrounding the feet of the furniture, and commonly in the areas around the handles, and corners of the cabinets or commodes.  It is common to see undertones of a different shade of paint.  Red, burnt orange are common colors seen under furniture pieces.  Furniture made from different woods, are often painted a color similar to wood color to disguise the fact that it was made from various woods.  Paint during this time was quite thin, making it easily naturally distressed over time.

Joseph Spinale Furniture is one of the best examples to look at for painting ideas for early American furniture.  This primitive farmhouse kitchen cupboard is heavily distressed with black paint.  $1,300
-Black-painted Bamboo-turned Windsor Stool- Early 19th century.  Look at the paint wear on the seating.  $300- $500
Hollywood Regency Furniture is known for their polished, lacquered paint finishes.  Hollywood Regency furniture is rarely seen distressed, but rather created to present a high end look with gilt adornments, and polished painted surfaces..  The look signals a feeling of glamour.  Glossy black and high lacquer finishes should be sprayed on furniture rather than brushed or hand painted.  Glossy finishes tend to show every paint stoke, which is a something you want to avoid.  The smoother the better.

-Here we see another black and gold Hollywood Regency Brandt Furniture Console Server.  The white marble top provides a great contrast against the black paint.
Finally with French furniture we see a mixture of different painting styles.  Country French furniture was often seen with quite a bit of distressing.  With these pieces you would see the black distressed paint finish showing the natural wood underneath.  French Provincial pieces would feature brighter colors, while Louis XVI styled furniture is often seen with darker colors.  Today it is common to find antique dealers selling Louis XVI furniture with glossy black finishes and gilt details.  In the flip side, Swedish furiture also uses this style but is commonly found with either gray, beige, or white paint.
