Care Instructions for Dovetail Furniture Products

Dovetail Furniture specializes in furniture that combines classic designs and traditional construction techniques. This combination results in furniture that will last and continue to look good for years to come. Our pieces are rustic and may have minor blemishes which add to the look and character of the piece. The most important thing is to relax and enjoy your Dovetail Furniture.

Our furniture’s look will be maintained if the following simple rules are followed.

Always use coasters and placemats particularly on dining tables, coffee tables but including any surface where a glass could be placed.
Wipe up spills immediately.

Indian Catalogued Collections

We have invested a great deal over the last few years to improve the finish on our furniture and now all of our Indian production pieces have a polyurethane seal. This allows the use of aerosol furniture polishes.

Chinese Catalogued Collections

These pieces have either painted or sealed finishes and can be cleaned with an aerosol furniture polish.

The Natura Collection is the only production collection that has a waxed finish rather than a polyurethane seal. It is essential to use coasters and placemats on these pieces. We would recommend nothing more than an occasional wipe down with a cotton cloth. Should the piece require added luster we would suggest using Fiddes wax.

Indian One of a Kind

Our one of a kind items usually have a stain and wax finish. These pieces do not require much more than an occasional buff with a soft cotton cloth. If you have a piece that you wish to add extra luster to, or a surface to which you wish to add extra protection we recommend using Fiddes wax.

Chinese One of a Kind

Our Chinese one of a kind pieces are usually either painted or have a lacquer finish. Thus an aerosol furniture polish can be used.
