Fine Furniture Care

New items of furniture may experience some movement of door panels, mouldings, table skirts or drawers as they acclimatise to their new surroundings but this is quite normal.
The natural moisture content of wood is approximately 10-14% and it is advisable to ensure that the moisture content of the room remains within these levels.

We recommend that plants or a small bowl of water are placed in the room with your furniture to release helpful amounts of moisture into the atmosphere and where necessary the use of a humidifier.

Weekly – Remove surface dust from your bespoke furniture with a dry duster.

Every three months—Apply wax sparingly with a soft white cloth to your bespoke furniture, going with the grain, to a small area at a time. Never use a circular motion. Continue to buff with the grain until the wax is absorbed and a low shine is achieved.

Helpful Hints

• Avoid placing your fine English furniture in direct sunlight.

• Never position your bespoke furniture directly against a heat source, such as a radiator.

• Avoid leaving your furniture in an enclosed centrally-heated room for long periods of time without ensuring adequate humidity.

• If a floral arrangement is in use, place it on a coaster, never directly onto the bespoke furniture’s wooden surface.

• Allow your dining table to breathe by removing the table forks from time to time.

• If a spillage of water, alcohol or perfume occurs, wipe off the wooden surface immediately*.

Do not allow it to stand.

*Do not use a damp or wet cloth when wiping the wooden table.
