Cherry Color Chart
Antiquity – Weathered
Weathered antiquity represents years of elemental exposure. As the sun, the sea, and the sand form the character of a branch on the beach, so these finishes present the simulation of natural weathering on cherry wood. Each piece is unique and chosen to be “one of a kind”. Make your choice of color broad with the natural beauty of the Weathered Antiquity variation. You will see variances in color, grain, rub and distressing piece to piece. Expect it.
Antiquity Paints
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.
Antiquity Stains – Level I
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 1: This is the overall lighter distress level and does not have simulated cracks. This level has 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.
