Finishing
We
craft each piece of furniture using the same techniques
employed by French master craftsman for over 200 years. We use
only the finest solid woods, primarily beech , and Swedish
pine chosen from healthy mature trees. Panels are
matched for color and grain with special care to avoid natural
defects.
France
Era furnishings have pinned mortise and tenon joints for
strength and elegant detailing. Our armoires' cross rails
dovetail into end panels to fortify their doors side to side.
Tongue and groove paneling makes tabletops and doors feel
seamless. And most carving is done by hand, to give each piece
an individual beauty.
The
innate splendor of every piece is enhanced by the finish. We
hand-rub and polish our furniture using natural shellac,
French polish and beeswax to create a lasting color and a
rich, warm patina that will be enhanced over time.
