For more than four generations, Fiddes has been dedicated to blending the finest natural Shellac, establishing a range of French Polishes that have gained international recognition in the fine woodworking and antique restoration market. Our commitment to quality and craftsmanship has made Fiddes French Polishes a trusted choice among professionals.
We offer a diverse selection of flake and powdered Shellac, meticulously mixed according to traditional and proven formulations that are suitable for both brush and rubber application. This range ensures that you have the perfect options to achieve the desired finish for your project.
In addition to our traditional French Polishes, we have also developed a range of “Sprayable” Shellac Polishes, providing an alternative application method for those who prefer it. These sprayable options deliver the same exceptional quality and finish that Fiddes is known for, with added convenience.
One of our standout products is Fiddes Button Polish, crafted from fine, unbleached Shellac flake. This unique polish possesses a rich and golden appearance, ideal when a slightly warmer aesthetic is desired. It has become a firm favorite among antique restorers and cabinet makers who appreciate its distinctive qualities.
Experience the unmatched quality and timeless elegance that Fiddes French Polishes bring to your fine woodworking and antique restoration projects. Trust in our heritage and expertise to achieve exceptional results that showcase the true beauty of your craftsmanship.
