They refer to it as the slightly more refined Antiquing...

Just checked out the shop's website (no name, no pack drill) and the lacquer has a lot of cracking, not just one crack from clumsy handling. The description (presumably culled from Suhr's bumf) says:
[color=#AEAEAE][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The nitrocellulose lacquer finish and our proprietary antiquing process make each Classic J Antique[/size][/font][/color][sup]TM[/sup][color=#AEAEAE][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] feel like it has been loved for years.[/size][/font][/color]

So yes it is deliberate. Up to you whether you want that or want to pay for it...
