The Vintage Collection finish is
an exciting new concept that we have not previously offered. This
labor-intensive finish creates a truly artistic, antiqued piece
of furniture that will not only be functional but an exceptional
addition to one’s home. This finish is unique in its visual
and physical presentation. It is a fresh new look that manages
to maintain the sense of “old” about it.
The pieces not only look “old”, they feel “old”.
We have artistically applied new procedures so that what the eye
sees, the hand also “feels”. A textured-feel on each
piece is created to simulate the many layers of paint applied
over the years. We use an aging agent not only on the outside
of the furniture but on the interiors as well. This keeps the
aged look consistent even when the doors or the drawers are opened
during everyday use. The aged metal hardware goes through the
finishing process at the same time as the furniture. This high
attention to detail maintains the antiqued look throughout the
entire piece. All sanding of the piece attempts to accurately
recreate the wear and tear of time and usage. Wormholes, bangs
and dents are heavily applied to the exterior of the piece with
a realistic consideration of how that piece would actually “age”.
We have taken all these steps in the endeavor to maintain the
integrity of our “antique reproductions”.
Our art staff has carefully designed 4 different looks to choose
from in our Vintage Collection. Keeping in mind the infinite variety
of color schemes possible we have carefully selected specific
complimentary colors for each individual look. These color combinations
allow for greater versatility in blending vintage with existing
color schemes or in creating a complete new look with a combination
of vintage and stains or paint.
