Black American walnut is slow growing deciduous tree native to north America and Canada producing edible nuts. Black walnut is a hardwood prized for its dark brown, purplish hue with a sometimes swirling grain, it can display many unique characteristics, such as knots and variations in depth of tone, resulting in truly distinctive piece. Walnut will get lighter with age becoming more honeyed over time. We use a protective clear oil finish which enables the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.

European oak is a temperate white oak hardwood native to Europe. It presents a golden to light brown hue with a minimal grain pattern. We use a protective white oil finish to allow the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.

European oak can display a variety of characteristics from straight grain to large swirling crown cut grain Medullary rays and small 'Cats paw' knots all of which are an intrinsic and natural part of the grain pattern.

Our house leather has a special surface treatment which guards against wear and tear, making it water repellent and stain resistant as well ensuring all hides are cohesive in look and feel. As a natural material it will age slightly according to its environment, creating a beautiful patina over time. We recommend you avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight.

An oiled finish is a durable natural looking finish that can be revitalised (and if necessary, more easily repaired). Oiled finishes require some low level maintenance to keep the wood protected and looking its best.

Day to day cleaning:

• Wipe clean with a damp non-abrasive cloth, then using a dry cloth remove any excess moisture.

• Wipe up wine, oil and any liquids that might stain as quickly as possible.

• To ensure the finish remains as resilient as possible to staining we recommend Osmo Wash & Care (8016) as it contains soaps and oils to both nourish and prevent the wood from drying out.

6 monthly replenishment / more stubborn stains:

• As the table is used it can dry out as the oil can thin with wear and washing even with water. If the table looks dry or you have a more stubborn stain we recommend using a revitalising Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (white 3087) for oak pieces and (clear 3029) for walnut pieces.

Do not:

• Leave any water, wine, oil or liquids that might stain – wipe up as quickly as possible. (Oil provides a semi-permeable finish, which means some liquids can penetrate the surface if left)

• Use ANY chemical cleaning products or bleach as this will remove the protective layer of oil and it will then stain.

Our house tan leather is a pure aniline leather. As such, it will reveal natural markings such as scarring, growth marks and variation in tone and colour. These markings are a part of the beauty of the leather which has been selected for its natural materiality, high quality and comfort. As a natural material it will age according to its environment, creating a beautiful patina over time. We recommend you avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight or next to strong heat sources as this can cause aniline leather to discolour or dry out prematurely.
