Mother of Pearl Inlay Table (TCF-23028)

Preserving a mother of pearl inlay table requires proper care and maintenance to protect its delicate surface and intricate designs. Here are some guidelines to help you preserve and maintain your mother of pearl inlay table:

• Regular Cleaning: Dust the table frequently using a soft, lint-free cloth or a microfiber cloth. This will help prevent the accumulation of dirt and dust particles on the surface of the mother of pearl inlay. Avoid using abrasive or rough materials that could scratch or damage the delicate surface.
• Gentle Cleaning Solutions: For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution or a specialized cleaner designed for delicate surfaces. Mix a small amount of mild liquid soap with warm water and dampen a soft cloth or sponge in the solution. Gently wipe the surface of the table, paying attention to the mother of pearl inlay. Immediately follow with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue, and dry the table thoroughly.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners on the mother of pearl inlay table. These can cause discoloration, fading, or damage to the delicate surface. Stick to gentle cleaning solutions specifically formulated for delicate surfaces or consult a professional for advice.
• Protection from Sunlight: Mother of pearl can be sensitive to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration. Place the table away from windows or use curtains, blinds, or UV-protective films to shield it from direct sunlight. If sunlight exposure is unavoidable, consider rotating the table periodically to ensure even fading.
• Use Protective Coverings: Use coasters, placemats, or tablecloths to protect the surface of the table from hot or wet items. This will help prevent heat marks, water rings, and other potential damage. Avoid placing sharp or heavy objects directly on the mother of pearl inlay to prevent scratching or denting.
• Stable Environment: Maintain a stable indoor environment for the table. Avoid placing it near sources of extreme temperature changes, such as radiators, heating vents, or air conditioning units. Excessive temperature fluctuations and high humidity levels can affect the integrity of the mother of pearl inlay.
• Handling and Moving: When handling or moving the table, be gentle and avoid applying excessive force or pressure on the mother of pearl inlay. Lift the table instead of dragging or sliding it to prevent scratches or loosening of the inlay.
• Professional Restoration: If you notice any damage or loosening of the mother of pearl inlay, it is best to seek professional restoration services. Trained artisans or furniture restorers with experience in working with mother of pearl can repair and restore the inlay to its original condition.

By following these preservation guidelines and providing proper care, you can maintain the beauty and integrity of your mother of pearl inlay table for years to come.
