Maintenance

Ancient wood requires no polishing to keep its mirror finish. Maintenance is just normal dusting, or wipe with a damp cloth, or mild soap and water, or glass cleaner, or ammonia water – that’s it!

All in all, under normal usage it’s pretty close to being indestructible. One piece, having been in a very severe house fire, was broken and badly damaged. After undergoing expert repair and restoration it was returned to its full beauty.
