How does the restoration process work?
The first step is to determine what kind of finish exists on the furniture. Before any work is started, all hardware and glass is removed and specific repairs authorized by the customer are made. The furniture is then chemically cleaned using a mild solution to remove dirt, oil, old polishes and residues. Stains and toners are used to restore the tones and colors. French polishing oils or waxes are applied by hand using special techniques to the luster and sheen of the original finish-as much as possible. The end result depends on the condition of the original finish and the wood itself. Hardware is cleaned or polished and glass is reinstalled.
