Cabinetmaking & Wood Finishing

Structural restoration of frames, regluing, and wood patina to ideally prepare for the upholstery work.

Complete Furniture Care Good upholstery requires a sound structure. Our cabinetmaking service intervenes beforehand to consolidate, repair, and enhance the visible wood of your seats.

Types of Interventions

  • Structural: Regluing joints (mortise and tenon), wood grafting on broken legs, reinforcing frames.
  • 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

  • Integrated Service: No need to find another craftsman; we manage the wood before the fabric.
  • 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.
