At Grandwoods our skilled craftsmen in all aspects of wood finishing and furniture repair and restoration to trade customers and members of the general public.

French polishing is said to have originated in France in the 17th or 18th century and is a liquified shellac.  In Georgian times its use became popular throughout Europe and it has been in use ever since in the restoration of antique and fine furniture. The art French polishing is a skilled craft and uses some of the oldest wood finishing methods in existence today.

We can restore many types of damaged, chipped or faded furniture to their former glory. Below is an example of a Victorian Chaise Longue that has undergone complete restoration including veneer repair, joints re-glued, repolished and upholstered.
