While we all love having antiques in our homes, they do need a certain amount of maintenance. With effective polishing techniques like French polishing, they can be restored to their former glory.

If you have a beautiful antique which needs polishing and want to use traditional techniques, French polishing is ideal. Softer than modern varnishes, it is also much simpler to repair; this is because patch repairs can be easily blended into an existing finish. That means no horrid cloudy marks on the surface.

Giving your pieces a high gloss surface with rich colour and chatoyancy, French polishing is particularly ideal if you have high figured wood.

French polishing is a laborious process which means it’s best done by professionals.
