The useful life of a piece of furniture can be increased by following a few simple guidelines. Download guide.

Fine furniture should never be exposed to strong sunlight even though the finishing materials used within our collections are fade resistant. Exposed wood components, underlying wood frames, and some leather and fabric dyes may fade or change color overtime, when in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

With regular cleaning and maintenance, you can help prolong your furniture’s appearance and ensure it lasts for years to come! When spot cleaning with any solution, it is always a good idea to first pretest in an inconspicuous spot on the piece.

Weekly vacuuming or light brushing helps to remove soil and dust fibers which can increase abrasion and wear. The life of upholstered cushions can be increased through periodic turning. The weekly reversal of loose cushions will allow even distribution of wear over long periods of time. You should also fluff up loose pillows to even out any lumps or settling. Select items in our collection have zippers allowing fiber to be removed or added as needed. With normal use over time, it should be expected that the cushions will lose some firmness.

Leather has a natural beauty unlike any other material. We source from the finest quality hides, meaning every leather piece has an incredibly soft and supple feel. This is achieved by limiting the amount of treatment such as color or protective pigments used. Therefore natural markings and color variations are highly visible, lending to the natural beauty of each piece. Fine leathers will age over time and develop a rich patina with extra care and maintenance.

Wood comes from nature. There are natural variations in its texture and grain, including knots, mineral streaks, and sap runs that may affect the appearance of the finish. These variations are not defects; they are distinctions that make each piece of furniture unique. Our collection consists of many finishes depending on the product and wood surface you purchased. These finishes are subject to damage by moisture, heat, or contact with alcohol based and oil-based products. By maintaining a general level of up-keep and extra care, you’ll preserve the inherent beauty of your beautiful wood furniture.
