This technique takes its character from autumn leaves at the very end of their cycle, the moment an ending begins to turn into a beginning. A subdued, almost decayed red sits beneath layers of brown and yellow, with a final grey-toned wash suggesting age. The result is a muted, restrained crimson, a more settled version of the brighter reds of earlier autumn. The warmth here is tempered by darkness, in keeping with Wabi-Sabi's regard for imperfection, memory, and quiet beauty. *The style shown in the product photographs is presented to demonstrate the Akakuchiba Patina Concept. This finish is available on almost every Made to Order style in Bridlen's Main Line and Founders Collection.
