Principles

Time & Care

Fine furniture is designed to be lived with — and cared for — over generations. These general principles will help preserve the integrity and beauty of your pieces.

Environment

Avoid direct sunlight and extreme humidity. Maintain stable indoor temperatures (18–24°C) to prevent material stress.

Placement

Ensure stable, level flooring. Use felt pads under legs to protect both furniture and floor surfaces.

Usage

Use protective coasters and mats for surfaces. Lift rather than drag objects across tables and shelves.

Cleaning

Dust regularly with a soft, lint‑free cloth. Avoid abrasive or chemical‑based cleaners unless specified.

Guidance

Material‑Specific Care

Each material requires a slightly different approach. Follow these guidelines to maintain the unique qualities of your furniture.

Solid Wood

  • Dusting: Use soft, dry cloths; avoid feather dusters that can scratch.
  • Oiling: Apply natural oil (e.g., linseed) every 6–12 months to maintain lustre.
  • Avoid: Chemical cleaners, silicone‑based polishes, and excessive moisture.
  • Scratches: Minor marks can be blended with a matching wax stick.

Luxury Stone

  • Cleaning: pH‑neutral cleansers only; never use vinegar or acidic solutions.
  • Spills: Wipe immediately — especially wine, oil, and citrus liquids.
  • Sealing: Natural stone may require periodic sealing; consult our team.
  • Heat: Use trivets or mats for hot dishes; avoid direct heat exposure.

Fabric & Upholstery

  • Vacuuming: Gentle, low‑suction vacuum with soft brush attachment.
  • Spot Cleaning: Blot (don't rub) with mild soap and water; test on hidden area first.
  • Professional Care: We recommend professional cleaning every 18–24 months.
  • Rotation: Rotate cushions regularly to ensure even wear.

Metal Finishes

  • Polishing: Use a soft cloth; for brass, a dedicated brass polish every 3–6 months.
  • Matte Finishes: Wipe with damp cloth; avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.
  • Outdoor Metals: Rinse with fresh water to remove salt or pollutant buildup.
  • Patina: Some finishes develop a natural patina over time — this is intentional.
