Further product information:
Bergere Painted French Style Bow Front Shelf Unit:The Bergere collection of painted furniture is a contemporary range that draws its inspiration from the French Rococo style of the 18th Century.
Indeed, even the name is taken from a style of chair that first appeared at this time. Painted in an off-white eggshell finish, the Bergere collection features the sort of lavish, romantic flourishes and decoration that typified the Rococo style.
This is a fully assembled range although some larger items such as beds and wardrobes may be partially dismantled to facilitate delivery.
Please note: this range has a heavily distressed finish, with marks and some significant scarring. Surfaces are deliberately made to look heavily worn.
Reclaimed timber furniture care
Furniture made of reclaimed timber will generally mellow (darken) in colour over time. Reclaimed timber furniture you can buy on this website is of a country style design and each piece of furniture will have slight variations – for example, the texture of the grain, colour of the reclaimed timber, etc. Reclaimed timber will crack and split fairly extensively as it ages, giving it a beautiful and unique look.
If you want to move the
reclaimed timber furniture you have bought from us once we have delivered it to you, take care to lift it (rather than drag it), as this will avoid any damage to the plinth structure of your furniture.
Look after your reclaimed timber furniture by ensuring it’s placed away from direct heat sources (e.g. radiators) and this piece of reclaimed timber furniture will last you for a great number of years!
Reclaimed Timber furniture finishes
Reclaimed timber furniture is generally available in three types of finish. They are:
1. White or sometimes referred to as raw. Raw means that the reclaimed timber furniture has no stain or topcoat – just a naturally beautiful look.
. Lacquered. The reclaimed timber furniture has been stained to a colour of choice and then a clear lacquer is added. This gives the reclaimed timber a tougher shell which makes it far more resistant to stains, moisture and scratches. This type of finish is the easiest to maintain and clean for reclaimed timber furniture.
3. Waxed. Our waxed reclaimed timber furniture is finished in water-based stain and real wax. Waxed reclaimed timber furniture will benefit from the occasional application of solid wax furniture polish, particularly in its first few months in your home. The sheen of the surface on the reclaimed timber furniture will probably increase as you apply and buff more furniture wax. Between wax applications, day-to-day reclaimed timber furniture cleaning can be carried out with a dry duster.
