''Faux'' is a French word for "false". The adjective has been adopted into the English language to describe an imitation or ersatz good.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=faux )〕 When manufacturing faux objects or materials, an attempt is often made to create products which will resemble the imitated items as closely as possible. However, some products are intentionally made to look "faux", for example, faux furs made for prospective buyers who want their fur to be recognizable as imitation due to controversy over the use and manufacture of real animal furs. Faux materials are produced in a variety of ways, for example faux finishes, such as Terrazzo and scagliola, generally made with marble dust in a plaster binder, yielding a hard material that will take a polish. To imitate marbles, porphyry, and other stones, "faux finishes" are often painted using spatterdash, sponging, and feather-streaking techniques on gessoed and painted surfaces. ==See also== *Faux painting (also called faux finishing) *Art forgery, the creating and selling of works of art which are falsely credited to other *Faux chateau *Faux pas (literally ''false step'') as in a misstep or more usually a social gaffe *Fauxbourdon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「faux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
