- Limed / Cerused Finish - A process for finishing timber whereby the surface was covered with a coating of lime, which was subsequently brushed from the surface, but allowed to remain in the grain. The resulting surface with its streaking and speckling of white was usually left unpolished. The finish was popular for French furniture in the late 19th century, and English cottage style furniture in the early 20th century. Oak timber was popular for liming because its open grain retained a larger amount of the lime than other close grained timbers.
Nowadays the same effect can be achieved by use of paint, or proprietry solutions for "liming".
