Colourfast Decorating, furniture restoration and French polish services have been established for over 25 years serving high class clients such as Mary Seymore interior designer to the former PM Tony Blair, Mathew Harding Chelsea football club chief executive working on his project of a oak staircase in a Manor house. The art of French polishing and furniture
restoration is a dying trade which needs years
of experience to perfect below is a little insight of
how we perform this art!
French polishing is a wood
finishing technique that results in a very
high gloss, deep colour and tough surface. It consists
of applying many thin coats of french polish (shellac
dissolved in alcohol) using a rubbing pad. The rubbing
pad is made up of wadding inside a square piece of cotton
and is referred to as a fad.
The process is lengthy and very repetitive. The finish is obtained through a specific combination of different rubbing motions (generally circles and figure-eights), waiting for considerable time, building up layers of polish and then spiriting off any streaks left in the surface. |
Wood Restoration:
Very often, homeowners spend a substantial part of their savings to purchase the very best furniture for their home, but seldom do they even think of doing anything to preserve those expensive items. During the course of day-to-day life, the wood in these sofas, chairs, tables, etc. is subject to a lot of wear and tear, and there is simply no avoiding this. Chipped edges, stains of spilled liquids, and many more such impedances shorten the life of furniture and thus lead to more expenditure in terms of new furniture after every couple of years. However, there is now a way out, in the form of wood restoration.

shape. Scratch Removal: While there are many of us
who keep furniture in prime condition by maintaining
the same and making constant efforts to keep it stain
free, there is one category of damages that does not
seem to have a preventive measure, i.e., scratches.
These may occur while you are shifting between and old
home to a new one, or even while changing the interiors
of your home. And when it comes to the remedy part,
scratches are different from stains, as the latter can
still be removed by using household remedies. However,
