Care and Maintenance
The Downton range is a timeless painted bedroom range in either white with metal cup handles or
ivory with solid oak tops and metal cup handles. Each piece has been carefully constructed to ensure it
will give you years of pleasure. The natural characteristics of oak may include small cracks, knots,
blemishes, and grain pattern variations which all add to the natural charm and beauty of this furniture
product. Each piece is unique, and for this reason no two pieces within the range will perfectly match,
however there will be harmony between all the pieces you may have purchased.
All timber surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially vary in shade
from items that have been previously purchased.
How to care for your furniture
Try to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as this may alter the colour and tone of your
furniture over time.
Any spillages that do happen should be wiped up immediately with a clean dry lint free cloth to avoid
marking the surface of the furniture.
