A rubbed finish is used to simulate the effects of age on a piece of furniture or panelling. This is achieved by rubbing stain selectively on different areas to produce the highlights and dark patches of wear.

kunstmatig verouderen
Explanation:
Perhaps this is too close to antiekeren, but check out the site below and see what you think. Even though it is a Flemish site, kunstmatig verouderen sounds solid Netherlands Dutch to me.

Just looked a bit further, it might also be patineren (I thought this only applied to stone, but can apply to other materials as well). It is obviously a narrower term than kunstmatig verouderen. See: www.vandoorninterieur.nl/verf/patineren.php
