Faux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (255 words)
Faux (IPA: [fəʊ]) is a French word for fake.
However, the reverse, i.e., intentionally making them look "faux", is also known, for instance with some faux furs, where it is anticipated that prospective buyers want their fur to be recognizable as faux fur, due to controversy over the use and manufacture of real animal furs.
Faux materials are produced in a variety of ways, for example faux marble (such as Terrazzo and Scagliola) is generally made with marble dust in a plaster binder, yielding a hard material that will take a polish.
