Care and Maintenance
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.
