How many of us can pride themselves in having really good looking cast iron furniture? Very few can. Cast iron distresses surprisingly easily because of weather conditions. Rain, snow, and the sunshine don’t help it at all. But what if we were to tell you that you can use those weather conditions to your advantage? Here are four ideas to give your cast iron garden furniture an antiquated look.

#3. The Roaring Twenties
The Jazz Age was one of the most amazing periods in history and for good reason. The architecture, art, and design from that period came together to form the famous Art Nouveau style. Here is a superb minimalist example of an outdoor table from that period. Paint it in gray or white and add a Roman-inspired small jardinière on top for a mesmerizing natural effect. Don’t forget the candles for the evening time or some string lights above it.
#4. Anthemion Design
The anthemion design comes to us through the vast ages of time from the Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. It consists of a particular number of radiating petals from a central stem. In our case, here is a gorgeous example of an anthemion design bench, radiating from a tree. Even though the Romans and the Greeks used this design mostly for pottery, it seeped through the culture barriers and landed in furniture design.
