French Polish – Traditional Shellac Finish for Fine Furniture Restoration

Foam4U’s French Polish is a premium-quality shellac-based finish used by restorers and cabinetmakers for centuries. It remains the definitive choice for maintaining and restoring antique and fine furniture, particularly pieces that were originally finished with traditional shellac coatings.

Applied in thin layers using a rubber or pad, French Polish builds a deep, natural gloss that accentuates wood grain, warmth, and colour like no modern coating can. It’s the hallmark of craftsmanship — delivering elegance, clarity, and character to every surface.
