Common Questions about French Polishing
What is French polishing?
A shellac, hand-applied using traditional methods with finesse, for fine furniture, enhancing wood grain and colour.
Is French polishing suitable for antique furniture?
Yes if you are not using it regularly, otherwise we can use a natural look lacquer which is more hardwearing.
How durable is a French polish finish?
It is a beautiful, repairable finish, but not indestructible and is best for decorative pieces or those with minimal use.
Can French polish be repaired later?
Yes, it can be revived or re-polished and waxed.
