Antiquing Solutions

The Mi-Tique® antiquing products are used to give a natural aged appearance to decorative hardware, bath fixtures, jewelry and other decorative accessories. Through chemical conversion, a variety of metals including copper, brass, bronze, nickel, silver and pewter can be oxidized to produce black, brown and green color patinas. By varying time and concentration, users can achieve multiple shades of color from light brown to the blackest of black. Tumbling, rubbing or relieving the surface to highlight lettering or create contrast on designs, can create additional effects.
