Made popular in the Victorian era, French Polishing is a technique used to restore furniture, giving it a sympathetic finish and deep colour suitable for older and antique furniture.
More modern furniture requires different techniques and finishes which vary from piece to piece. At Abbey Upholstery and French Polishing, our expert team can help you achieve a premium and brand-new look for your furniture. We work with the piece, keeping it sympathetic to its time and style. For example, as Ercol specialists we know how to retain their trade mark finish and colour.
At Abbey Upholstery, we restore all types of furniture using a French Polishing method – coffee tables, chairs, tables sideboards, dressers, dressing tables, cabinets and many more pieces of furniture, restoring them to their original glory. We can repair knocks, scratches, heat marks and broken legs, backs and arms plus anything else in between.

Karen and team have done a wonderful job on our 3 piece leather suite. The seats had sunk quite considerably but now with new foam inserted they are just as good as new. Would highly recommend the company.

Excellent Job
A leather chesterfield suite, more than 40 years old and in a sad condition, needing new leather to arms & seats. An excellent job, it now looks brand new as though it has just come out of the showroom.
