irst things first: Let’s stop
referring to beautifully
and authentically
weathered furniture as
distressed. There’s no torment
to be found in a piece that has aged
naturally. Consider, for a moment,
any of these alternatives: well-
loved, well-traveled, time-tested….
A piece of antique furniture—
we’re talking real antique, not faux
“aged”—evokes a certain seen-it-all
wisdom that instantly grounds a
room. Like the wrinkles and laugh
lines that come with experience,
each nick and scratch has a unique
and hard-earned story to tell,
whether it’s the well-worn spots
from another lifetime, or the
memories of your own making
(a not-particularly-gentle move up
three flights of stairs to a first
apartment, perhaps?). Scuffed-up
furniture also reflects an era when
things weren’t so darn disposable,
and when items were thoughtfully
and painstakingly handcrafted
to age alongside us, accompanying
us on our journeys—to a new
town, to a new home, to the next
generation—a companion that’s
always there in the nicks of time.
