About
wood furniture
|
Cherry
is the primary wood for our furniture, because of the subtlety
of its grain and color variations. The natural markings are important
to the design of each of our pieces. Over the course of time,
solid cherry furniture deepens in color. This natural richening
of the color of the wood cannot be matched by something out of
a can, or concocted in a lab. If your new piece arrives looking
lighter in appearance than expected, give it a little time, and
you'll be superbly rewarded. |

Caring
for your Maxwell furniture
|
Dust
using only a soft, dry cotton cloth. For more intensive cleanup,
mix Murphy's oil soap in water, and lightly dampen a cloth. Avoid
solvent-based formulas and any polishes with silicone in the formula.
Prolonged exposure of your furniture to direct sunlight causes
the wood to dry out. To reduce problems, apply a top quality lemon
oil. Spray the oil onto a dry cloth and use sparingly. Let the
oil penetrate for a few minutes, then wipe dry with a clean, soft
cotton cloth. A coat of wax may be applied 48 hours later, or
you may use the lemon oil more frequently. To prevent your solid
wood furniture from separating at the joints, or warping, you
should place pieces away from radiators and hot air registers.
