Wood & Veneer
Philippe Hurel cabinetry reflects traditional craftsmanship, including fine veneer work that requires thoughtful care.
Maintenance:
* Use a chamois or a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean and restore sheen.
* Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Precautions:
* Do not use commercial dusting sprays, polishes, or shine-enhancing products, as they may damage the finish.
* Avoid placing damp or wet objects (such as ice buckets or glasses) directly on wooden surfaces.
* Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent damage.
Important Environmental Information:
* Traditional veneer is sensitive to humidity and moisture.
* Avoid excessive humidity or rapid changes in environmental conditions.
* Maintain a stable indoor climate to preserve the integrity of the wood.
Restoration:

Metal
Metal elements are crafted to bring subtle luster and refinement.
