French Polishing.

"The finish is considered to be one of the most beautiful ways to finish highly figured wood..."
"The process is lengthy and very repetitive."
"The finish is obtained through a specific combination of different rubbing motions (generally circles and figure-eights), waiting for considerable time..."

"French polishing became prominent in the 18th century. In the Victorian era, French polishing was commonly used on...expensive woods."
"The process was very labour intensive."
"...abandoned the technique around 1930, instead preferring the cheaper and quicker techniques..."
