FAQs

Art Nouveau furniture, popular from the late 1880s through the 1900s, is characterised by sinuous, asymmetrical lines, floral motifs, and whiplash curves inspired by natural organic forms.

Cabinets from this era were typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, combined with hand-cut glass panels, bevelled mirror plates, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved organic details, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original silvered or leaded glass, period cast brass pull handles, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

These cabinets serve as focal points in modern dining rooms, living areas, or hallways, perfect for housing fine glassware, barware, or curated collections of ceramics and curiosities.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading. Clean wood surfaces with a soft cloth and apply high-grade beeswax polish annually, while using ammonia-free cleaner on glass.
