Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What is French polishing?

    French polishing is a traditional technique used for finishing wood, it is not actually a polish or substrate. The finish is applied with a shellac-soaked cotton rubber called a fad. It is a laborious and repetitive process of building up layers using various rubbing motions. French polishing is an art form. 

  • 2. What does French polishing do?

    French polishing results in a hard-wearing finish which can be easily repaired and maintained. It seals the timber and prevents movement due to moisture absorption. It also wears well and keeps dirt and dust out. 


    French polishing also removes any blemishes, restoring the appearance of a piece while maintaining the character and patina. 

  • 3. What products do you use?

    We use traditional techniques and products, many of which we mix ourselves.

  • 4. What is the difference between restoration and refinishing furniture?

    Restoring furniture aims to change the piece as little as possible while repairing any damage, rejuvenating and protecting the timber. Refinishing furniture creates a completely new look.

  • 5. How much does furniture restoration cost?

    Furniture restoration is a time-consuming process requiring specialist skills. Please enquire regarding the likely cost of restoring your items.

  • 6. What if some of the timber needs replacing?

    In the event that it is necessary to strip back and replace timber due to damage, we have replacement timber available. We've collected many old timbers which we can draw on when needed. Our aim is to match the timber using the same wood and to finish the item using the same processes and materials as used originally.
