“How to Care for Your Bone Inlay Furniture”
Bone inlay furniture is timeless, artistic, and elegant — a statement piece that brings heritage craftsmanship into modern homes. Each piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans, using delicate bone or mother-of-pearl inlays set into wooden frames and filled with resin. While these stunning items are durable, they do require special care to preserve their beauty for years to come
1. Regular Cleaning
-
Dust frequently with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup.
-
For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry wipe
-
Avoid abrasive materials, as they can scratch the resin and inlay surface.
2. Avoid Excessive Moisture
Bone inlay furniture should never be exposed to standing water. Too much moisture can damage both the wooden base and the inlay. Always use coasters for drinks and wipe spills immediately.
3. Protect from Heat and Sunlight
Direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration over time, while heat can weaken the adhesive used in the inlay. Place your furniture away from windows, radiators, or fireplaces, and always use mats under hot items.
4. Use Gentle Products
When polishing, avoid harsh chemicals or commercial cleaners. A mild soap solution is enough, but ensure you dry the surface properly afterward. To maintain the natural shine, you can use a clear furniture wax once or twice a year.
5. Handle with Care
Bone inlay pieces are often delicate, especially at the edges. Always lift them carefully instead of dragging, and use felt pads under legs or bases to avoid scratches on your floors.
