At Foxborough Furniture, we treat every piece as a unique project. The journey to a perfect finish depends entirely on the type of furniture, the wood species, and the extent of existing blemishes or marks. This initial assessment decides exactly how we proceed to ensure the best possible result.

Our traditional process often involves meticulously stripping back old, tired finishes, followed by careful sanding and fine wire-wooling to prepare the timber. While we are experts in traditional French polishing, we also offer a variety of different finishes—from contemporary matt waxes to durable oils—to suit the era and use of your piece.

True French polishing is a time-consuming art form, but we never cut corners. We always apply multiple layers of hand-rubbed shellac to build a deep, authentic luster. This patient approach ensures that your furniture doesn't just look repaired, but looks immaculate, with a finish that highlights the natural beauty of the grain for years to come.
