Distressing

Distressing: A unique art

A number of items affect the appearance of a piece of furniture. One of those is the level of distress that is applied to the overall finish of the piece. Distressing is a process which seeks to emulate the passing of time and the history of the item. There are 4 different levels of

Light Distressing

Little more than softening with a limited number of light usage marks (normally on semi-formal items only).

Oak	Fruitwood

Medium Distressing

Normal usage marks on items in daily use in a country farmhouse home for 200 years Some physical damage and indentations, insufficient to affect practical use.

Oak	Fruitwood

Heavy Distressing

A much harder used item over a 200 year plus period. Physical wear areas to edges with more pronounced indentation.

Oak	Fruitwood

Savaged

Severe damage as in heavy distressing but all marks are significantly enhanced and increased particularly defiles and intrusions. There will be a small areas with sufficient distress to prevent small objects such as wine glasses standing evenly. (In Fauld's opinion the close grain nature of cherry wood does not lend itself to savaged distressing).
