    I've been Money Tipped!
    Silly question but I've just looked at this paint and it all seems to be emulsion. Are you able to use this for furniture? If so does it wash off?

    Thanks

    Hiya, I am no expert and only a newbie myself but I think they do emulsion and also do acrylic eggshell paint which you can use on furniture. That's my understanding anyway. HTH :)

    pinkhayley is correct. They do both emulsion and eggshell.

    Ive just been on the Farrow and Ball site and ordered 2 paint samples and some wallpaper samples.
    Its a shame the paint is only emulsion as it's just the right size for the projects I have in mind but I can put clear varnish over the top :D

    I love the aubgerine colour one in Wilkinsons (I find their paint is pretty decent) - not sure if they still do it (or the proper name of it) but it was lovely.

    I second that, I have just painted two rooms with two different matt wilkinson paints. No complaints here :T
