What is "aging"?
Aging is a technique in art used to make an artwork or its materials look older than they really are. This is done through methods like weathering, which makes the art appear as if it has been damaged by natural elements; discoloring, which imitates fading or staining; and distressing, which adds scratches or dents. Artists might use chemicals, rough materials such as sandpaper, or natural processes to create these effects, often to give new art an antique appearance or to make it feel like it comes from another time.
