At John Reed & Son, we are proud to offer our French polishing services to customers in Burton Latimer and wider Northamptonshire.

As part of our comprehensive range of furniture restoration techniques, French polishing can restore the natural beauty of your wooden furniture, adding a touch of sophistication to your home or business.

What is French Polishing?

French polishing is a traditional wood finishing technique that dates back to the 19th century. It involves applying many thin layers of shellac using a rubbing pad, which creates a high-gloss finish with a deep, rich colour. This process enhances the natural grain of the wood, offering a level of beauty and refinement that modern finishes often can't match.

The process of French polishing requires skill and patience. Each layer must be applied carefully and allowed to dry before the next one is added, creating a finish that is not only beautiful but also durable. This technique is particularly suited to antique and high-quality furniture, where preserving the original character and value is the main priority.
