Common questions about our French polishing and furniture restoration services
French polishing is a traditional wood finishing technique that produces a high-gloss surface with a deep, lustrous appearance. It involves applying multiple thin coats of shellac dissolved in alcohol using a special rubbing pad. This method not only creates a beautiful finish but also provides a protective layer that enhances the natural grain and color of the wood. The process requires significant skill and patience, which is why it's best performed by trained specialists like our Swift craftsmen.
French polishing can effectively repair a wide range of damage including scratches, watermarks, heat rings, alcohol damage, sun fading, minor burns, dents, and general wear and tear. Our skilled technicians can also address more significant damage such as gouges, splits, and veneer repair before applying the French polish finish. The technique is particularly effective for restoring antique furniture while preserving its character and heritage.
Yes, our craftsmen are highly skilled in color matching and can recreate virtually any shade or tone. We use specialized techniques to analyze the original finish and wood type, then carefully blend stains and finishes to achieve a perfect match. This attention to detail ensures that repaired areas blend seamlessly with the rest of the piece, whether it's a modern table or a treasured antique with a distinctive patina developed over decades.
The timeframe varies depending on the size, condition, and complexity of the piece. Simple projects like a small side table might take 2-3 days, while larger pieces or those requiring significant repair work before polishing could take 1-2 weeks. Traditional French polishing involves applying multiple thin layers with drying time between each coat, which cannot be rushed without compromising quality. We'll provide you with a specific timeframe estimate after assessing your furniture.
Swift offers both on-site restoration and workshop services. Many repairs and French polishing projects can be completed in your home or business, minimizing disruption. However, for pieces requiring extensive restoration or specialized equipment, our dedicated workshop facilities provide the optimal environment. The decision depends on the extent of damage, the size of the furniture, and your specific circumstances. We'll discuss the best option during our initial assessment.
To maintain your newly restored French polished furniture, dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid commercial sprays and silicone products, which can damage the finish. Protect from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Use coasters for drinks and mats for hot items. For cleaning, slightly dampen a cloth with water, wipe gently, and immediately dry with a soft cloth. We provide detailed care instructions tailored to your specific pieces after completion.
