GLOSARY OF TERMS

Patina 

the chemical process by which a patina forms is called patination, and a work of art coated by a patina is said to be patinated.

Applied patina

Artists and metalworkers often deliberately add patinas as a part of the original design and decoration of art and furniture, or to simulate antiquity in newly-made objects.
