Can a latex painted piece be stained with oil based stain for an antique look?

If you are looking for a faux antique finish you can use stain over latex paint to achieve it.
The latex must be completely clean, grease/oil free and dry. The oil based stain, usually in a dark brown colour, is applied with a brush and then rubbed in with a clean absorbent cloth. In this process most of the stain is removed, but what remains settles in the cracks, crevices and corners and simulate the look of the accumulated dirt of years, hence the "antiquing."
