About Our Distressed Finishes

Our European Tables have a rich, worn, weathered feel. Each piece is finished by hand, involving many steps. Our hand finishing process may involve sanding through paint, scorching the wood finish, and treating surfaces to create a patina similar to the type that comes with age.

These processes leave the surface of the product with an antique look. Finishes may vary somewhat, wood characteristics may vary considerably.

Natural signs of aging, nicks, scratches, such as season cracks, shrinkage, distressing are a normal part of this look. Natural stains, knots, wood grains and markings inherent to wood products are considered desirable features and enhance the uniqueness and beauty of the furniture.

We make every effort to conceal the knots and grains on our painted finishes. Due to natural resins the knots and grains may bleed through and discolor the finish. This may be more apparent on light color finishes. Irregularities in the finishes are not to be considered defects.

CARE

• Do not use furniture polish that contains abrasives or ammonia.
• With our lacquer finishes, use only high grade furniture polish,and clean by putting the polish on a clean cloth, then wiping the furniture with the cloth. Never spray or apply furniture polish directly onto the furniture.
• We suggest  a writing pad to protect surfaces from scratches on the top of desks. 
• When moving furniture, always lift entire piece off floor before moving it. Do not push, pull or drag the furniture, damage may result.
