"Faux" is a French word meaning false. The "faux finish" can create the look of something aged and worn over time, or mimic the color or look of another surface.
For example: A textured and glazed wall creates the look of aged plaster. A new piece of furniture or cabinetry that is distressed and has a painted finish on it, may look like it has been used and abused for decades. An unfinished wood can be distressed and have a wash applied to create the look of old reclaimed wood. A faux finish can transform an ordinary painted mantle into an aged limestone mantle salvaged from a historic building, or brought over from an old mansion in Europe.
