A French polish is an alcohol and shellac polish for wood. It takes a lot of patience and hard work, but it is one of the most beautiful finishes available, producing an exceptionally high gloss.

The four detachable table leaves can be stored away until they are required. Six elegantly carved legs hold up the large table and are on fabulous solid brass castors.
