Finishes

All Heywood-Wakefield furniture pieces are offered in three finishes: Amber, Topaz and Onyx.

Amber is our primary finish, shown on most of the pieces in our catalog.  We developed our Amber stain to mimic the color of aged Birch wood when the vintage finish is removed, and a clear finish coat is applied. It’s lighter and clearer than the original Wheat or Champagne finishes of vintage Heywood-Wakefield, but tones well with either.

Topaz is a warm medium brown, similar to the color of Fruitwood or Teak. 

Onyx is not a paint. It is a black stain that allows the beauty of the wood grain to show through.

All our finishes are proprietary finishes, specially formulated for industrial application. They require specialized finishing equipment and are not suitable for DIY use.
