Distressing & Antiquing Techniques

   

 

 

You may want to consider some degree of distressing and/or antiquing? In many ways, distressing is

an art form and a way to decorate furniture and other items in a popular and stylish way. Distressed furniture has become very popular and trendy, mostly because distressed furniture appears to have more character.

 

Various Glaze Antiquing Techniques we use:

"Fly Specks"

Antiquing is often done in moderation, with “fly specks” being the most traditional and simplistic forms

of giving finishes a little more character. Below is an example of fly speck antiquing.

Time Worn Distressing

Time worn distressing is a popular choice when you want your furniture to appear old....and not refinished.  These techniques include scratches, stains, worn edges and dent distressing.

Time Worn Distressing

Of coarse, distressing can also be taken to extremes….or anywhere in between. Also…..Don’t overlook painted finishes. For example, black over cherry has been one of our most popular painted finishes, especially on chairs and kitchen table bases. it’s a finish we are very well-known for, and it's fabulous

on many different styles of furnishings.
