Every piece of Old Camden furniture exhibits the same degree of craftsmanship utilizing the finest materials.  As a result, it is no coincidence that you need to exert very little effort to preserve its beauty once it arrives at your home.

If you understand the nature of the wood and finish of your furniture, and take heed to these simple recommendations, you will enjoy your investment for a lifetime.

Solid wood reacts to the amount of humidity in your home. Long periods of heat, without added moisture, will dry wood and cause splitting and weakening of the glue joints. We recommend between 35 percent and 40 percent relative humidity during cold, dry months. It is equally important not to expose your furniture to excessively damp areas without providing a dehumidifier. Certainly most of todays heating and cooling systems maintain the home at the acceptable levels mentioned, but it is important for you to be aware of these conditions and take the appropriate action to prevent needless damage.  In addition, it is important to avoid direct contact with alcohol, fingernail polish remover, hairspray and fluid filled drinking glasses. These can soften the finish and contribute to discoloration and deterioration.

Our finishing technique uses a water based formula. All you need to do is apply furniture polish a few times a year and buff well. Use a polish that cleans and does not leave a greasy buildup. Between cleanings, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth or wipe with a damp cloth and dry completely.

You can hide minor nicks or mars with furniture touch-up pencils, brown shoe polish or a bit of stain. Try any touch-up material in an inconspicuous wood area to be sure the color will blend satisfactorily.

The more you know about your furniture, the greater your satisfaction will be. It was crafted to give you years of useful service. Should it become necessary to require a repair, always rely on a furniture professional who comes well recommended by your authorized Old Camden dealer.
