French Polishing Sydney
At JW Polishing, we offer a blend of traditional French polishing and modern finishes to restore and enhance your timber furniture. Whether you’re looking for the rich, glossy finish of French polishing or the durability and smoothness of modern spray finishes, we tailor our services to suit your piece’s needs.
The Art of Traditional French Polishing
French polishing is a delicate, hand-applied technique used to achieve a lustrous, high-gloss finish on wood. It’s perfect for select pieces of antique furniture, heirlooms, and other valuable items that deserve a traditional touch. The process involves layering shellac to bring out the wood’s natural grain, creating a beautiful, deep shine that enhances its character.
Modern Finishing Techniques
For furniture that require durability as well as beauty, we offer modern finishes including spray lacquers and polyurethane coatings. These finishes provide a sleek, smooth surface that is resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for everyday use while still delivering a polished look.
