FAQs

Eighteenth-century chests of drawers were crafted during the Georgian era, transitioning from heavy joined construction to more refined cabinetry as trade and woodworking techniques evolved.

These pieces were predominantly built from solid native timber such as oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged framing, and traditional brass swing handles with matching escutcheons.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-planed surfaces, irregular dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, period-correct hardware, and the absence of modern machine tools.

This piece can serve as a striking focal point in a neutral bedroom or hallway, contrasting clean modern plaster walls and minimalist decor with rich historic textures.

Maintain the finish by keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and apply natural beeswax periodically to nourish the dry timber.
