Refinishing. Where necessary old finishes are carefully hand removed in order to
apply a new finish. The refinishing of the furniture can then take place using French
polish, varnish, oil or natural beeswax polish to enhance and protect the wood.
Placing your cursor over the before restoration images on this page will reveal the
