It's only normally Shellac Varnish: of if you like, French Polish.

Surely one can purchase French Polish in well,.............. France?

And of course, Pierre, if a lady from Gdansk marries a gentleman from Perpignon, then their kids are all French Polishers!

That's 'andy 'arry!

French polish is a kind of "vernis à l'alcool" or "Vernis au tampon" to be more specific. French polisher is "vernisseur au tampon"and shellac is "gomme laque" Just to make things absolutely clear, french polish is sometimes called "Tampon Anglais"

Everyone follow!?

I dread to think what an English french polisher is referred to and what they use!

how about here for some shellac varnish

And after that, as a Provençal peasant might say, when swearing, "Pardon my English!"
