1 side is natural gray weathered wear with the bottom having a couple of spots that the wood rotted a bit and chipped off (pls see photo's). The backside is a yellowish off white worn paint (more than likely lead paint) with the 2 support boards. There is some darker brown staining on the edges. This could be worked into a project or i even thought it could be hung on a wall with a picture centered in it, leaned against a wall for decor - so many things to do with this piece. It does have an antique patina as described.
This item is made of metal catch and hinges, wood and more than likely lead paint.
