Artisan Distressing

Artisan offers five packages of distressing techniques to give your cabinetry the look of old world craftsmanship. Each design assumes a unique look during the Artisan finishing process, with hand-applied styling simulating the natural appearance of aged wood. Adding Glaze or Patina will accentuate the marks and enhance the aged look.

Because the details are hand-applied, the frequency and placement of distressing marks will vary. It's an authentic look found in old-style furnishings, with the durability of a modern factory finish. Please note that A4 and A5 have a 6-week lead-time.
