Surface treatment

Shellac polish

Shellac polishing is a traditional method of enhancing the wooden surfaces of antiques. This technique has been used since the 18th century and gives furniture a deep, warm sheen that emphasizes its natural beauty. Shellac is a resin-like secretion of the lacquer scale insect, which is used after being prepared in alcoholic solutions. The process is time-consuming, but the end result is a stunning finish that is characterized by its durability and shine.

Shipping

Within Austria, the furniture is delivered personally by small truck, while the safe overseas transportation is handled by professional transport companies. To ensure that the valuable pieces reach their destination safe and sound, Antiquitäten Kurz only works with trustworthy and reliable shipping partners.

Do you have a high-quality antique for sale?

Antiquitäten Kurz is constantly on the lookout for high-quality furniture from the 18th or early 19th century, such as drum cabinets, miniature furniture, wall cabinets, side tables, mirrors or armchairs. 

Please send me up to four pictures per object to assess whether you are interested in buying it. Please make sure that the object can be seen in its entirety in the pictures. If you are interested, I will contact you for any detailed photos, discuss the price with you and arrange a viewing appointment and/or collection. The distance is of secondary importance - interesting objects are picked up throughout Austria or from neighboring countries. Payment is made in cash on collection.
