Reclaimed Timber
Where Our Reclaimed Timber Is Sourced
1825 Interiors specialises in reclaimed timber furniture which is made from pine shipping pallets sourced from all over the world. This gives our furniture a genuine 'old world' feel and a tick for being environmentally sound.
These timbers are collected, checked, and sorted before being transformed into new pieces such as a reclaimed timber dining table, reclaimed timber coffee table or reclaimed timber TV unit.
Recycled Timber Furniture Manufacturing Process
The overall finish is achieved through a series of steps – sanding, staining, and sealing. This is followed by hand rubbing with beeswax and natural oils to enhance the overall look and feel of each piece of furniture.
Because each piece of furniture is hand-crafted, no two pieces are exactly the same. Our furniture is made in the old-fashioned way using the tongue and groove process with free-floating panels and dovetail joints. Therefore, every reclaimed timber table, console or sideboard has its own characteristics and will behave differently.
Free Floating Panel Design
Our free-floating panel design allows for the natural expansion and contraction which occurs in reclaimed timber furniture. As the timber expands and contracts, the gaps between the panels will open and close.
If you want to reduce the appearance of gaps in your reclaimed timber console table or sideboard, our stores provide special waxes, in colours to suit your furniture, which can be used to fill the gaps.
Wax Finish
Regular waxing keeps a reclaimed timber sideboard or reclaimed timber entertainment unit nourished so it ages gracefully and develops a rich patina.
The wax finish gives our furniture its unique look. It is also a highly effective way of moisturising the timber and disguising any marks that may occur from wear and tear.
Natural Characteristics of Reclaimed Timber
As 1825 Interiors' furniture is all natural, it is perfectly normal for your new purchase to resemble any of the above images. Nail holes, timber knots, colour variation and timber block patches are common and are not considered a fault.
These characteristics tell the story of the timber's past and are part of the charm of custom recycled timber furniture.
Maintaining Reclaimed Timber Furniture
With a little care, reclaimed timber dining tables, coffee tables, sideboards and bed frames can last for many years.
When positioning reclaimed furniture in your home, do not place it in direct sunlight or close to heaters. 1825 Interiors recommends using Howard Feed-N-Wax and Orange Oil to nourish and enhance your recycled timber furniture.
Howard timber products are sold in all 1825 Interior stores. Using any other brand of maintenance product may damage your furniture, thereby voiding your warranty.
