FAQs

A George I chest of drawers dates from the period between 1714 and 1727, characterised by proportioned timber construction, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and brass drop handles on plate escutcheons.

Early 18th-century chests were constructed using solid English oak, hand-sawn backboards, dovetail drawer joints, and drawer runners set into the carcass sides.

Authentic pieces exhibit irregular hand-cut dovetails, original backboards secured with square-headed iron nails, natural shrinkage marks in the timber, and wear consistent with age around drawer runners.

A period oak chest functions effectively as a focal piece in modern hallways or bedrooms, contrasting clean contemporary wall finishes with dark natural wood grain.

Apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually with a soft cloth, keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and maintain steady indoor humidity levels.
