antiqued
Made to look old
Antiqued describes something given an aged or weathered appearance through deliberate treatment.
Furniture may be antiqued with distressing techniques—sanding edges, adding false wear marks, or applying glazes that settle into crevices: The antiqued finish made the new cabinet look like a family heirloom.
The term also applies to paper, mirrors, or photographs processed to look old.
