Toning antique doors is a process that requires not only experience, but also a lot of patience and endurance of the art restorer. The color of the glaze we choose will affect the color of the door. Since over time the tree changes its original color, it is necessary to choose the right tone for the glaze. Here you need experience in tinting antique objects, as well as mastery of many technological nuances.
You can apply the glaze to the surface of the ready-made door with a quality paint brush – flute, or tint it with rags. The stain is applied abundantly and evenly along the fibers. Each type of wood absorbs and perceives the color of the glaze differently and changes color when drying.
In our workshop, we perform toning with water- and alcohol-based glazes, applied with a flute or a cloth. At the same time, the glaze enters the structure of the tree in a special way and reveals the pattern and texture of the wood. After this toning, the door has a real look without losing the shades of antiquity and time.
