Antique Finish and Distressing
httpwww.discountlivingrooms.comhammary-hidden-treasures-single-drawer-chest-in-antiqued-golden-brushed-finish-090-413.html#22556You have probably heard the term before: antique finish. But what is it exactly?
It is a special finish that gives the appearance of age to furniture. This is most typically done by applying multiple layers of stain and paint to the surface, while making some parts lighter and others darker.
If you are into the aged look, you might also like the distressing technique. It also gives a worn appearance. Distressing adds cracks, depressions, nicks, scratches, and other imperfections to the texture of a piece.
These styles are great for those with a more rustic look in their home, or perhaps those looking to add a little character to their furniture.
