Bergere Painted French Style Drop Leaf Table

What should you expect from your reclaimed timber furniture purchase from this website? Reclaimed timber is a natural material with beautiful variations of grain patter, knots and colour in every piece of furniture. So, no two pieces of reclaimed timber furniture you buy from this website will be exactly alike.

Furniture made from reclaimed timber does not look perfect and in fact, reclaimed timber furniture is deliberately made to look worn.  No two pieces will be the same, and variations in shade and finish and appearance are completely normal.  Reclaimed timber will crack and split fairly extensively as it ages, giving it a beautiful and unique look.

You’ll find that your reclaimed timber furniture will gradually mellow (darken) in colour over time, so new reclaimed timber furniture will initially look paler that older reclaimed timber furniture. Because of this, for the first few months after you’ve bought your reclaimed timber furniture, we advise that you do not leave a vase, ornament or other item in one place on the timber for too long, as the area of furniture covered will mellow less that the surrounding area.

All of our reclaimed timber furniture is of a country style design.  In order to preserve its rustic “antique” character, no attempt is made to conceal the natural flaw and variations in the reclaimed timber.  For example, small cracks, heavily textured grain, variable colouration of the timber, small blemishes and filled areas are all part of the essential character of this reclaimed timber furniture.   Furniture made from reclaimed timber does not look perfect and in fact, reclaimed timber furniture is deliberately made to look worn.  No two pieces will be the same, and variations in shade and finish and appearance are completely normal.  Reclaimed timber will crack and split fairly extensively as it ages, giving it a beautiful and unique look.
