The word patina derives from the Italian patina to mean ‘a shallow layer of deposit on the surface.’ Now used to refer to any signs of ageing of an antique, whether it be fading, darkening, or oxidising, patination occurs on almost any material.
Patina is caused by oxidisation when an antique is exposed to natural elements. The oxidisation occurs when the chemicals on the antique item begins to react with the oxygen, which is what causes the colour changes.
