What Is French Polishing and Why Is It Special?

French polishing is a traditional hand-finishing technique that enhances the natural beauty of wood, bringing out its depth, richness, and character. Unlike modern spray finishes, French polishing involves multiple thin layers of shellac applied by hand, creating a stunning, durable, and luxurious surface.

This technique is perfect for:

• Staircases – Transform worn or faded bannisters and steps

• Antique furniture – Preserve and restore valuable pieces

• Wooden doors and panels – Enhance elegance and longevity

• Tables and cabinets – Achieve a flawless, high-gloss finish
