Finish Options Available

Hand Waxing

Hand Waxing - brings out the luster in fine wood finishes. A skilled artisan applies a special formulation of wax and rubs it to a high sheen. The formula, which contains beeswax and carnauba, produces a long-lasting shine which brings out the depth of complex multi-step finishes.

Dry Brushing/Leafing

Leafing - Thin foil sheets of silver or gold leaf are applied by hand to accent design details such as carvings and mouldings. They are worn through and burnished to a fine patina to simulate aging.

Dry Brushing - A gold or silver paint is made by combining a mixture of gold or silver powder to a clear glaze or gloss lacquer. The brush is dipped in the mixture, then is brushed on an absorbent surface until it is nearly dry. Only then is it applied to furniture. As a result, it is more subtle than leafing.

SHEEN Low

Sheen Level - refers to the degree of 'shine' that appears on a piece of furniture. Each finish has a pre-determine standard sheen level. The varying degrees of sheen are Low (5,10), Medium (20,30), and High (50,70). For some finishes the top of an item is rubbed by hand or machine to reach an even higher degree of shine.

NOTE: A high sheen finish is not recommended on heavily distressed items.
