Antiquing.
The combination of steps in the furniture finishing process that have
as their sole objective to make the furniture look older than it really
is. How much older is determined by the amount of antiquing applied.
We offer antiquing in light, medium and heavy quantities. First, try as we might to make perfect furniture with no blemishes, we can't. So, rather than promise you something that we can't do, we offer you the best that we can do. Second, scratches and dings will happen to your furniture as you use it. if we put the first few on, as others occur, there is less anxiety which is good for you and your visitors. Third, we think it looks more appropriate. It's like a person over forty-five having crows feet around their eyes.
