Have a piece of furniture or a fixture that could use a little character… or an old age-worn look? Get it to Earthen Exposure and have it transformed into a piece that looks like it could tell your great-grandparents a story! The end goal is always the look of authenticity. The wood is worked in areas that would receive wear naturally and the metal patinas are real, not synthetic faux spray paints.

What can I, or am I willing to distress? Anything made of copper, brass or wood. However, depending on the existing finish and style, some objects lend themselves better than others for a quality look. Email photos of what you want distressed or better yet, bring the object to me for inspection.

A few examples are below.

German made hammered copper light fixture with chemical free patina.

Brass light fixture with chemical free patina. Hung with twisted abaca rope crimped with reclaimed copper wire.

A cheap assembly line frame given a "handmade" age worn look.

Repainted tourist trap “tribal mask” with the addition of cordage cornrows and light distressing.
