Proper care ensures your antique furniture remains beautiful for generations. Follow these guidelines to preserve the integrity and value of your treasured pieces.
Maintain 40-60% relative humidity to prevent wood from cracking or warping.
Avoid direct sunlight which can fade finishes and damage wood over time.
Keep furniture away from heating vents, radiators, and air conditioning units.
Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth following the wood grain direction.
Use a soft microfiber cloth or feather duster. Always dust in the direction of the wood grain to avoid scratching the finish.
Apply a high-quality furniture wax or polish specifically designed for antiques. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Buff gently with a clean cloth.
For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Dry immediately and thoroughly. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
