Distressing &
Antiquing
The main goal of a distressed finish is to mimic the look of an item that has been used over time, giving it a vintage or rustic charm. It typically features a worn appearance, with the paint showing signs of wear and tear.
Distressed finishes often involve multiple layers of paint. For example, walls and millwork woud be painted in a base color and then covered with a top coat in a contrasting color. When the paint is distressed, the underlying color shows through, adding depth. The level of distressing can vary widely. Crackle finishes are also very effective in conveying an authentic aged look.
Our artisans study authentic pieces in museums and various references to note details in the appearance of natural wear and patina. Drawing from the knowledge and discernment between the genuine antique from the sometimes expertly crafted replica, we custom the best solution for the desired effect.
