istressing

Character lines and age marks may not be prized in people, but they certainly are in furniture. Ask us. We have many ways to achieve the heirloom furniture aura you're looking for.

Our distress packages can include indentations, pin holes, simulated cracks and sand-through highlights at common wear points. For example, the table and chair legs will look like shoes and brooms have scuffed them over the years. And to guess from the knob, the drawer has been opened a thousand times.

We also offer custom distressing with your choice of which effects you prefer.

Keystone Antiquity (Light Distressing)

Expert glazing to replicate a rich natural patina, light distressing, slightly eased edges, and pinholes are among the subtle hints of graceful aging that make this lightly antiqued finish so popular.

Keystone Vintage (medium distressing)

The techniques of our light Antiquity Finish are further beautifully accentuated by medium distressing and hand-brushed highlighting to add a century of age to the appearance.

Keystone Legacy (heavy distressing)

Our ultimate antique finish. Rub-throughs of the rich patina are masterfully punctuated with another level of nicks, simulated cracks and other distressing techniques to bespeak several centuries of rubust wear and loving care.
