FRENCH STYLE PAINTED FURNITURE
PRODUCT INFORMATION

Our collection of painted French style furniture is manufactured by skilled cabinet makers and wood carvers. The concept for each piece is to produce a unique antique style used look.

The materials used in construction are hardwoods such as Beech, Birch and Oak, medium density fibre board (MDF), or high density fibre board (HDF).  Large areas are constructed from MDF as flexing of natural timbers can cause cracking.  Exposed edges are lipped with hardwood which varies in depth due to machining and hand finishing.  Exposed surfaces are also timber veneered. Joints are glued and dowelled and if necessary joints are screwed or nailed to add extra strength.  Drawers are dove tailed and glued.  The underside of the drawers is fitted with a bird tail’s slide.  A flexible clip is placed at the back of each drawer to allow the drawer to be stopped when pulled out.  A full panel divides each drawer space for added stability. 

All units are finished with nine coats of paint. This being made up of two sealing coats, one primer coat, two base coats, two colour coats, one finishing coat and one clear finishing coat (semi matt).The paints used are manufactured and purchased from America.  Great care is taken by our artists to achieve the final finish. Furthermore, as a result of such care being taken to hand paint each item individually, no two pieces will ever look the same, thus ensuring the uniqueness of each piece of furniture.
