French polishing specialist
in Edinburgh 

Are you planning to restore your valued furniture item that has lost its lustre due to everyday wear and tear? If that's the case, I recommend French polishing - a technique that is utilised to preserve wood and reveal its natural beauty. The expert at J & J Hardie Antiques makes use of methods and techniques that can be traced back over 200 years. In case only a portion of the wood is damaged or marked, a patch repair can be combined into the present finish without the need for drastic stripping that a lacquered or varnished item would require. Give me a call if you have any queries.

French polishing involves the skillful application of many thin coats of shellac over a number of days during which colours can be added subtly to reveal an exquisite finish. My business has been established since 1976 and I have the skills and expertise needed to take on projects both large and small.
