French Polishing

The art of French polishing dates back to the early 19th Century, when the craft was developed by French cabinet makers. The process involves the use of the finest materials and finishing techniques applied by skilled craftsmen. The traditions of this ancient profession are proudly upheld by Heldreich in their Derbyshire workshops.

Antique Furniture Restoration and Conservation

The conservation and restoration of antique furniture requires the attention of craftsmen who both understand and respect the history of the piece. The success of this work is dependent on originality of colour and patination and, wherever possible, the conservation of whatever remains of original components. This basic philosophy is upheld by Heldreich French Polishers.
