- Poltrona Frau - Furniture manufacturers Poltrona Frau was founded in 1912 in Turin by the Sicilian craftsman and designer Renzo Frau.
Poltrona Frau, now trading for over 100 years, built its reputation on the use of the highest quality materials, outstanding design and craftsmanship, and ongoing research and innovation in style and technique. - Distressed - Usually applied to describe the condition of an item of furniture, and means that the object is extremely worn and is verging on being unsuitable for its intended use, without some restoration or repairs being undertaken.
Furniture can also be artificially distressed, by deliberate infliction of superficial damage to make it appear old. Artificial distressing can be done with the object of deceiving a purchaser, where the object is being passed off as "of the period", or can be done for aesthetic reasons so that a new object is made to appear as though it has been in use.
