What is French Polishing?
Traditional wooden furniture can be expensive to replace, and a cheaper alternative would be to overhaul your current piece of furniture by using the French polishing technique. This technique involves applying shellac to wood in layers to create a glossy, smooth and rich surface that showcases the grain of the wood. This specialist technique is best undertaken by skilled craftsmen who have the necessary experience to ensure that your wooden article is successfully restored to its former glory – fortunately, Barfords come highly-rated as specialists in French polishing across London.
Advantages of French Polishing
As a popular choice for French polishing in London, we have seen our customers benefit from French polishing many times. To help you decide if French polishing is the right option for you, here are some of its main benefits!
Faithful restorations
This time-honoured technique can bring life and character to your wooden articles and can quickly become the focal point of a room. Whether it’s a grand bookcase, chest of antique drawers, vast sleigh-bed or a simple coffee table, we work together with you to faithfully restore your piece to its former glory.
Durable and resilient
French polishing is a finish that is durable and resilient to wear, scratches, flaking and cracking. Our French polishing also plays a large role in ensuring the life span of your furniture, including doors and windows, helping you get the most out of our services and maximum value for money.
Natural and non-toxic
Shellac resin is naturally occurring and non-toxic which means that it is a safe solution for those with children or pets. It is also better for the environment as harmful spray polishes aren’t needed to maintain the shine and gleam.
Cheaper than replacing furniture
French polishing is a cheaper alternative to buying new furniture and it often means that we can keep hold of those sentimental pieces that have always had a place in our homes.
