FINISHING & QUALITY


Each piece of furniture offered by GALERIE VERSAILLES is created using the same techniques employed by French and European master cabinetmakers and ebenists for over 250 years.

Only the finest solid woods, primarily beech, and Swedish pine chosen from healthy mature trees are used. Panels are matched for color and grain with special care given to avoid natural defects.
 
GALERIE VERSAILLES furnishings have pinned mortise and tenon joints for strength and elegant detailing. Our armoires' cross rails dovetail into end panels to fortify their doors side to side. Tongue and groove paneling makes tabletops and doors feel seamless. Most carving is hand done, giving each piece its’ own individual beauty.

The innate splendor of every piece of furniture is enhanced by its’ finish. Our furniture is hand-rubbed and polished using natural shellac, French Polish and beeswax to create a lasting color and a rich, warm patina that will continue to enhance over time.
