Care Instructions 

 

Wood Furniture

Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way they cut - for example, the ‘medullary ray’ which 
can appear on oak furniture is a mark of good quality timber - these are just characteristics of the natural beauty of 
the wood. Some furniture is also deliberately aged and rustic.

 
Wood veneers also allow distinctive patterns to be created on flat surfaces, such as table tops and drawer fronts by 

the way the slivers are arranged.

 

All timber surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially vary in shade from items 
that have been previously purchased.

 

How to care for your wood furniture

Furniture with a hard lacquer, wax polish or painted surface should be dusted with a dry cloth.

 

Waxed furniture will need to be given a coat of beeswax a couple of times a year to help maintain its luster.
Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture’s surface by building up over 
time.

 

Make sure all surfaces are protected from heat and liquids by mats and coasters. Wipe up spills immediately and 
ensure that a mat or pad is placed under paper if you are writing.

Extendable dining tables should be left extended for the first few months to avoid an uneven appearance. Likewise, 

lamps and ornaments should also be moved regularly.

 

Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home but it is best to avoid placing furniture next to heat 

sources such as radiators or fires. Be particularly careful with solid wood as the lack of humidity caused by central 

heating can cause damage such as warping.

Glass and acrylic furniture

Use glass cleaner or soapy water for cleaning, do not use anything abrasive as this may damage the surface of the 
product.

 

Protect surfaces from scratches and marks by using mats and coasters.

 

Metal and leather

Protect leather from spillage, sunlight and heat. A slightly damp cloth is the best cleaning agent for both materials.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner or harsh detergent as this can damage the surface.  Care for the leather with 

leather conditioner. We recommend applying leather conditioner before using the furniture for the first time.
 

Avoid spilling or dropping crumbs of food with a high fat content on the surface as this can permanently mark the 
leather
