Antique Care Notes!

🖤🖤Tips for enjoying your piece!🖤🖤

 

Hello!

 

Here are a few tips for protecting your pieces! These are things I tell all my clients!

 

Try not to get it wet.

 

I put multiple layers of protective wax on the piece. However, in general, it is not a good idea since it is painted.

 

Try not to knick or scratch it. Use coasters, a cutting board or mat etc. If it is in a high traffic area, consider having a custom piece of glass made for it.

 

Whenever I have a client that is going to be using my piece in a kitchen or bathroom, I have them put a coat of clear matte polyurethane on it as an extra layer of protection.

 

Polyurethane is carried at Menards and most local hardware stores.

 

Note: Using Polyurethane may change the look and texture of your piece.

 

Remember, the life of your piece depends on how you care for it. So, care for it well!

 

 

DO NOT pull drawers out all the way. These pieces are old and may have gaps in the back. Doing this could damage the drawers.

 

It is normal for drawers to get sticky overtime. Add a bit of wax under the bottom of the drawer to help it slide easily.

Antique Note:

Antiques are beautiful pieces that have withstood the test of time. Please expect imperfections. These imperfections add to their beauty and charm. The imperfections are solely cosmetic and have nothing to do with it being a solid piece in good condition!
