Antique furniture holds a timeless charm that modern pieces often can’t replicate. Whether it's a Victorian chair or a mid-century sideboard, the beauty of aged wood can be fully revived with the right technique. One of the most authentic and elegant ways to restore antique wood furniture is through shellac finishing.
At RS Antique Furniture & Repair, we proudly offer professional wood restoration services using this traditional shellac method — a proven technique for bringing aged furniture back to life.
Shellac is a natural resin secreted by the lac bug, processed and dissolved in alcohol to form a high-gloss finish. It has been used for centuries to polish and protect wooden furniture, especially in antique pieces.
Natural and non-toxic – safe for home environments
Brings out natural grain – enhances the beauty of wood
Fast drying – allows for multiple coats in a day
Classic antique finish – delivers a warm, glowing appearance
Easily repairable – minor scratches can be touched up
Shellac finishing is ideal for antique restoration because it maintains historical integrity while adding protection and depth.
At RS Antique Furniture & Repair, our shellac polishing involves:
Thorough surface cleaning
We remove old wax, dirt, and damaged finishes without harming the wood.
Careful sanding and surface prep
Using fine-grit sanding to ensure smoothness and proper adhesion.
Layered shellac application
Shellac is applied by hand in thin coats using a traditional “French polish” technique.
Buffing and final polish
Each piece is buffed to a soft, glowing sheen that highlights the wood’s natural grain.
