Much like David and George mentioned above I think there is a distinction between 'well worn' and 'abuse'. The patina most manufacturers attempt to create seems to fall into the category of abuse (thank you 'shabby chic'). It's worth noting the difference as I personally feel that well kept antiques look fantastic.
