- Aesthetic: Cleaning grime from wood, reviving color.
- Finishing: French polish (shellac), traditional waxing, or contemporary lacquer.
Methodology
- Gentle Stripping: Removal of old varnish without damaging wood carving.
- Treatment: Preventive or curative application against wood-boring insects.
- Respect for Patina: Preservation, whenever possible, of the marks of time that give antiques their charm.
Sourcing
- Antiquarian Products: Beeswax and carnauba wax, natural pigments, traditional varnishes.
Logistics and Support

- Transport: Same care taken as with upholstered seats.
Cost Considerations
- Global Quote: Integrated into the complete seat restoration offer.
- Transparency: Clear distinction between "wood" cost and "fabric" cost.
