Until paint was produced commercially during the Industrial Revolution (circa 1800), painters had to make their own paints by grinding pigment into oil. The paint would harden and would have to be made fresh each day. Paint consists of small grains of pigment suspended in oil.
In portraits and in illustrations of religious and mythological subject matter the great Venetian masters of the sixteenth century manipulated the substance and colour of pigments to achieve naturalistic, decorative and expressive ends.
Lieverdink Parket is introducing a new range, Grigio (Italian for Grey) using 5 rediscovered Artist's Pigments to create unique authentic appearance of Oak flooring. Treated (on site) after installation with either Osmo natural or white maintenance wax gives you the choice between 10 original and authentic Oak floors (in floorboards or wood blocks 6mm tick - "tapis" or "overlay" floors in various widths).
The Pigment including natural oil finish is applied in the factory, all you or your fitter have to do to bring out this allure of old times into your home is install the Oak floor and apply the Osmo maintenance wax (natural or white).
