Do you have a picture? For indoor decoration or outdoor use? What's it made of? Is it painted?
You can give it a whitewash finish using white paint, or you could add dark wax lightly around the corners and edges for an aged finish. Also, use sand paper to distress the edges.
Hi ! You can paint it and scuff area with sand paper . Or you can get a crackle medium at any craft store like Michael's , you apply one color 1st ( this will be the color of the cracks ) then paint the crackle medium , it's clear , then paint a contrasting color for the top color , as it dries , it will crack . You can also use an antique sealing wax .
