Annie Sloan Dark Wax is a decorative finishing wax specially formulated to add depth, warmth and the rich patina of age to furniture painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Designed to settle beautifully into brushstrokes, carved details and natural imperfections, Dark Wax creates the character and mellow appearance of a treasured antique while preserving the unique texture of the painted finish.
Applied over a coat of Annie Sloan Clear Wax, Dark Wax allows you to build subtle shading or create dramatic aged effects with complete control. Whether you're transforming a vintage dresser, highlighting decorative mouldings or adding authentic character to a newly painted piece, Dark Wax brings furniture to life with warmth, depth and timeless appeal.
Why you'll love Annie Sloan Dark Wax
• Creates beautiful aged, antique and time-worn decorative finishes.
• Adds depth, warmth and rich character to painted furniture.
• Enhances carvings, mouldings, brushstrokes and textured surfaces.
• Easy to blend and build gradually for subtle or dramatic effects.
• Best applied over Annie Sloan Clear Wax for complete control.
• Leaves a beautifully soft, low-sheen finish.
• Perfect for traditional, rustic, farmhouse and French country interiors.
How to apply Annie Sloan Dark Wax
Begin by sealing your Chalk Paint with a thin coat of Annie Sloan Clear Wax. This creates a protective barrier that allows the Dark Wax to be moved, blended and adjusted before it cures. Using an Annie Sloan Wax Brush or a clean, lint-free cloth, apply Dark Wax sparingly, working it into decorative details, corners and recessed areas before wiping away any excess with a clean cloth.
Build the effect gradually, adding more Dark Wax where additional depth or ageing is required. The result can range from a softly mellow patina to a richly antiqued finish, depending on how much wax you apply. Taking your time and working in thin layers gives the most natural-looking results.
Where can Annie Sloan Dark Wax be used?
Annie Sloan Dark Wax is ideal for:
• Painted furniture
• Vintage dressers and sideboards
• Dining tables
• Cabinets and bookcases
• Decorative mouldings
• Carved furniture
• Mirrors and picture frames
• Shelving
• Interior decorative accessories
It is particularly effective on pieces with carved details, turned legs, mouldings and textured finishes, where the wax naturally settles to emphasise depth and craftsmanship.
