While it is the walls and ceilings that create the foundation and the backdrop for everything else taking place in a room, F&A also specialize in creating custom finishes for furniture and cabinetry that are worthy of being the center of attention in any space. While in the past furniture finishes where limited to being either a stained wood finish or a painted finish, today, Falkner and Abele are producing finishes that break out of these former limitations. Whether it be the effect of a two hundred year old hand painted Scandinavian cabinet with the underlying oak wood showing through on the smoothly worn edges or an elegantly ornate gilt side table suitable for royalty, Falkner and Abele are skilled in creating or imitating any finish that you desire. Often designers will use F&A to finish their furniture and then use a local upholsterer rather than wait the several months that some of the larger high-end furniture companies might take for custom pieces. This pleases the clients and allows for more involvement in the specifications of custom pieces, often at a smaller cost. continue
