Glazed Finish

A decorative cabinet finish technique where a tinted glaze — usually a translucent umber, black, or brown — is applied over a painted or stained surface and then partially wiped away. The glaze settles into recesses, profiles, and grain lines, adding depth, dimension, and an aged or antique character. Glazing is popular on traditional and transitional door styles.
