Silken Wax Set – Carmine Red

Deep red colourwash with rich historical roots

The Silken Wax Set – Carmine Red combines soft natural wax with Decoration Paint in Carmine Red – a bold, Bordeaux-inspired shade rooted in history. The name comes from the ancient pigment carmine, traditionally derived from cochineal insects, once used in royal fabrics, fine art, and sacred objects. Now, this deep red brings warmth, depth and elegance to wooden surfaces and decorative pieces.

What’s included in the set?

• 1 jar of Silken Wax (filled 2/3 – room left for mixing)

• 1 jar of Decoration Paint in Carmine Red (filled 1/3)

Add the paint to the wax jar and stir until fully blended. Use less paint for a transparent, soft-toned finish. For a richer, deeper red layer, use the full amount of paint.
