FAQs

The Transitional style emerged in France during the mid-to-late 18th century, bridging the ornate curves of the Rococo Louis XV period and the restrained geometric lines of the Neoclassical Louis XVI era.

Marquetry involves the meticulous application of small pieces of fine wood veneers, such as walnut, kingwood, and fruitwoods, onto a solid carcase to create intricate pictorial or geometric designs.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-cut wood veneers with natural colour variations, traditional joinery methods such as dovetailing in the drawer construction, and hand-chased gilt bronze or brass mounts.

Pairing an antique wooden cabinet with clean-walled contemporary spaces or minimalist modern art creates a striking contrast that highlights the intricate craftsmanship of the vintage piece.

Maintain wood veneers by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to protect the polished surface.
