This piece of furniture is crafted from carefully selected wood. The cabinet frame consists of veneered lamella boards, while other details are made from solid wood. Sides and doors are upholstered with a paper map.
Wood matures with exposure to light and can undergo significant colour changes over time. The more daylight the furniture is exposed to, the faster these colour alterations occur. Walnut wood is typically relatively dark brown with grains that may have a black-brown hue. Over time, it matures to a softer golden-brown tone, evening out colour variations.
Avoid placing objects such as vases, books, and coasters on the tabletop during the initial period, as this may cause colour variations on the surface. Furthermore, refrain from allowing items to remain in the same spot for too long, as this can lead to dark discolorations in the wood.
The paper map is coated with a thin layer of lacquer, enhancing the paper's durability.
All wooden components are finished with clear lacquer. The lacquer is manually sprayed in a traditional craftsmanship manner, which may result in minor irregularities or small lacquer bumps on the surface.
In the event of damage to the lacquer, paper, or veneer, it is essential to promptly contact a furniture conservator. Minor damages can often be repaired but may worsen if not addressed.
Clean the furniture with a soft and clean microfiber cloth. If necessary, wipe the furniture with a lightly damp cloth using mild soapy water. Ensure thorough drying immediately. Polish, oil, or strong cleaning agents should never be used on the furniture.
The cabinet doors are meticulously adjusted with a very precise gap all around. To maintain this precision, it is crucial for the cabinet to be perfectly level. The slightest unevenness can cause temporary shifts in the cabinet frame.
Locks and hinges may occasionally require oiling. Be sure to wipe clean after applying oil. Never place water-filled vases directly on the furniture, as they may release condensation and potentially damage the surface. When moving the furniture, always lift it instead of dragging it across the floor.
Avoid subjecting the furniture to significant fluctuations in temperature and humidity, as this can significantly impact the natural movement of the wood.
