FAQs

The serpentine style features a distinct convex centre flanked by concave curves, creating an undulating front profile popular in high-end 18th-century cabinet making.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid or veneered mahogany over a secondary wood like oak or pine, fitted with cast brass hardware and dovetail joints.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, period-correct brass fixings, and secondary woods appropriate to the geographic region and era.

Pairing dark wood period furniture with minimalist walls and modern art creates a balanced contrast that highlights the rich grain and sculptural form of the piece.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply micro-crystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood without damaging the historic patina.
