Yes, we believe so. Although we will never be absolutely sure because no surviving engineers from the Limbert Company were available to vouch for the exact technique used in day to day furniture operations enough literature has survived to recreate the formulas of both the stain and lacquer. Originally Limbert’s Arts and Crafts Furniture was finished in nitrocellulose lacquer.
