This historically inspired dining chair is scaled from the antiques of the 17th Century and has a shell motif in the back adding a twist to its historical inspiration. Our wood stain and painted finishes are protected by several coatings of lacquer, which will last indefinitely under controlled conditions. Lacquer coatings are not invulnerable to direct sunlight and heat, scratches, dents, or spills of alcoholic beverages. Avoid using silicone waxes, oil-based polishes, or lemon oils. Keep your furniture shielded from daily exposure to direct sunlight, as the sun may cause deterioration of the original finish. Clean your furniture with routine dusting using a damp cloth and then dry the surface immediately using a dry, soft cloth. Always wipe in the direction of the wood grain.
