Maple Color Chart

The distressed wood and color of Antiquity Paints is designed to complement the Antiquity Stains. Each piece is distressed in the same manner as the stained finishes but given several layers of color to highlight the natural wear from years of use. It is then coated with catalyzed finishes and hand-waxed. You will see variances in color, rub and distressing piece to piece. Expect it.

The character and wear of generations of use is captured in the Antiquity Finishes. This is accomplished in a 16-step studio style finish process. Each piece is scraped, distressed, and softened with sanding to simulate years of wear. Glazing and hand burnishing highlight the character of the distress marks and the natural beauty of the wood. All the Antiquity finishes are coated with catalyzed finish and hand waxed. Please note, there are 2 levels of distressing in the Antiquity Stains. Any Antiquity Stain finish can be selected in Level 1 or 2. Antiquity Level 2: This level of antiquity has simulated cracks, worn edges, tear outs, gouges, dings, wormholes and non-physical distressing within the finish layers. You will see variances in color, grain, rub and distressing piece to piece. Expect it.

Heritage finishes are distressed with worm holes and dings. The paint lacquer is applied, rubbed through or glazed to accent the piece. You will see variances in color, rub and distressing piece to piece. Expect it.
