Antique Silver

ARGÉTEN is a controlled patina metallic finish developed by Molteni Vernici according to industrial production standards and consolidated quality protocols.

The surface is designed to ensure chromatic continuity, repeatability between batches and compatibility with certified cycles, fundamental requirements in high-end architecture, contract and retail projects.

Molteni Vernici finishes have been used for years in international settings, subject to mechanical, chemical and environmental resistance tests, and integrated into painting cycles that comply with the main industry regulations.

ARGÉTEN inherits this technical heritage, offering a surface with an ancient and material appearance, but with performance consistent with the needs of contemporary industry.

From an aesthetic point of view, ARGÉTEN stands out for its patina inspired by antique silver, characterized by chromatic variations and calibrated irregularities that restore depth, layering and naturalness.

Each surface is unique in visual perception, while maintaining technical control and aesthetic consistency, making the finish suitable for large scale projects and bespoke creations.

ARGÉTEN communicates with materials such as stone, marble, natural wood, cement and mineral surfaces, integrating into contemporary architectural languages without being decorative or artificial.

USAGE AND SUPPORTS

ARGÉTEN is applicable on metal, wood and plastic, through dedicated painting cycles and the use of Molteni Vernici adhesion primers.

Su metal supports — such as iron, steel, aluminum, brass and zamak — the finish expresses its material nature to the maximum, making it ideal for architectural elements, windows, facades, furnishing accessories and decorative components.

Su wooden supports — including MDF, HDF, plywood, laminated and natural wood — ARGÉTEN allows you to transfer the aesthetics of antique silver to non-metallic surfaces, maintaining visual uniformity and stability over time.

Su plastic supports and composite materials, through specific cycles, ARGÉTEN makes it possible to obtain consistent surfaces even on complex geometries and technical elements.
