Rosewood Furniture

Finesse Furniture began trading in 1993 - importing high quality " Chinese rosewood" furniture into the UK for resale at sensible prices. Our furniture is still largely Bench Made by skilled Craftsmen. Only the finest Quality Kiln dried timber from Burma , West Africa, Middle Africa and Subtropical areas of south east Asia is used to produce our range of furniture to ensure the feel and look of Quality in each piece. The timber is all sourced from ethically managed and sustainable plantations .Using the traditional method of Chinese Double Interlocking Joints - and floating centre panels to allow for expansion these pieces are extremely robust - despite their classic lines. Each piece takes an average of 8 weeks to produce - prior to the lacquering process.

We offer a choice of 5 colour finishes ranging from the Natural colour - right through to almost black. These finishes are obtained by using Chinese Tung Oil Lacquer - which seals and protects the wood - whilst still allowing the beautiful natural grain pattern of the wood to show through.Tung oil is resistant to Heat, Water and Alcohol. The Tung Oil is applied 7 - 10 times to each piece of furniture - and the furniture is then placed in a humidity controlled room to dry and set.
