Old Cotswold dresser base:Old Cotswold contemporary furniture captures the true charm and values of the traditional country furniture on which it has been based.
It is every inch the furniture that might have been commissioned by a Yeoman Farmer of the local carpenter. But carefully designed proportions, fittings and even seasoning of the timber, makes it practical and convenient for use in modern homes.
The Old Cotswold collection is supplied fully assembled, although larger items such as beds, tables and wardrobes may be broken down into component form 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.
Oak furniture finishes
Oak furniture from rightpricefurniture is generally available in three types of finish. They are:
1. White or sometimes referred to as raw. Raw means that the oak furniture has no stain or topcoat – just a naturally beautiful look.
2. Lacquered. The oak furniture has been stained to a colour of choice and then a clear lacquer is added. This gives the oak furniture 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 oak furniture.
3. Waxed. Our waxed oak furniture is finished in water-based stain and real wax. Waxed oak 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 oak furniture will probably increase as you apply and buff more furniture wax. Between wax applications, day-to-day oak furniture cleaning can be carried out with a dry duster.
Oak furniture characteristics
What should you expect from your oak furniture purchase from rightpricefurniture? Oak is a natural material with beautiful variations of grain patter, knots and colour in every piece of furniture. So, no two pieces of oak furniture you buy from this website will be exactly alike.
Oak furniture (along with most other hard woods) tends to crack and split as it ages, giving the furniture a beautifully unique look.
You’ll also find that your oak furniture will gradually mellow (darken) in colour over time, so new oak furniture will initially look paler that older oak furniture. Because of this, for the first few months after you’ve bought your oak furniture, rightpricefurniture advise that you do not leave a vase, ornament or other item in one place on the oak for too long, as the area of furniture covered will mellow less that the surrounding area.
