<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 11081957, member: 37"]Good question. Furniture darkens naturally over time as the finish oxidizes and changes due to UV exposure. Consequently, a lot of dark antique furniture we see today, did not start out that way. Now, whether furniture that is 300 years old or more was ever stained, I can't say. Would need to defer to others with more expertise than I. Furniture color is very much fashion driven. Fashion was certainly a thing 3-400 years ago so could see how staining furniture could have been a thing back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
