Is your furniture looking tired and dull this January?
Traditional French polishing could revitalise it. Known for its ability to create a high-gloss, mirror-like surface, this technique involves applying many thin layers of shellac (a natural resin dissolved in alcohol).
Using a pad lubricated with oil, our French Polishers can deliver truly magical results. You will be able to truly appreciate the natural beauty of the wood grain.
A Technique that Requires Precision
Did you know, French polishing is viewed as both an art and a science? The technique requires not just precision but also experience and a delicate touch. Its origins have been traced back to 18th century France and it became popular in Britain during the Victorian era, when it was used for finishing fine furniture and musical instruments.
An Eco-Friendly Choice
Shellac, the key ingredient, is derived from the secretions of the lac bug, making it an eco-friendly choice if you’re a restoration enthusiast in Hampstead. French polishing remains highly valued for its unmatched elegance, particularly for antique furniture and high-end interiors.
