French polish is a finish commonly found on antique furniture. It is often mistakenly referred to as a substance to be applied to wood, but in actuality is a method of applying shellac to a woodworking project that produces a tough surface with a very glossy, mirror-like finish. French Polishing dates back as far as the Victorian era, but was brushed aside early in the 20th century in favour of less labour-intensive methods of finishing. However, this "lost art" produces a lustre that is next to impossible to duplicate with mass-production methods. French polish finishes are also very easy to repair.
