Each piece of furniture is crafted using the same techniques employed by French master craftsmen for over 200 years. Only the finest solid woods, primarily cherry, mahogany, oak and walnut, are chosen from healthy mature trees. Panels are matched for color and grain, with special care to avoid natural defects.
French Heritage replicas and furnishings have pinned mortise and tenon joints for strength and elegant detailing. Aromoires have cross-rails dovetailed into end panels, to fortify their doors. Tongue and groove paneling makes tabletops and doors feel seemless. Most carving is done by hand, to give each piece an individual beauty.
The innate splendor of every piece is enhanced by the finish. Hand-rubbed and polished using natural shellac, French polish and beeswax create lasting color, with rich, warm patinas that age gracefully over time.
