Dealers Notes

I have been established as a dealer and antique furniture restorer for almost 20 years.

I have a real love and passion of fine 18th and early 19th century furniture.

As a professional restorer I am always searching for the finest quality and original items but should any restoration be nessesary it will be sympathetically and skilfully carried out in house by myself.

If items are purchased with buy now option I shall do my very best to work with my courier to offer free delivery within most of UK mainland. (Some exclusions to locations may apply)

It has been noted that the system is rounding up measurements added in cm to the next nearest inch so if dimensions are critical for a particular space please work by the cm size listed of please ask.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

George III dressing and side tables from the late 18th century typically feature symmetrical proportions, tapered legs, and decorative boxwood or satinwood stringing. Many incorporate central kneehole arches, shallow drawers, and raised gallery backs designed for utility and understated elegance.

Cabinetmakers during the George III period predominantly used solid and veneered Cuban or West Indian mahogany for its stability and rich grain pattern. Secondary timbers like pine and oak were utilised for drawer linings, while boxwood, ebony, and brass were applied for inlays and handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut dovetail joints in drawers, and genuine age-related shrinkage in solid panels. Secondary timbers display natural patination and oxidisation, while original brass hardware shows subtle irregularities consistent with period craftsmanship.

A Georgian dressing table functions effectively as a compact home office desk, a hallway console table, or a bedroom vanity unit. Pairing dark mahogany timber with neutral walls and modern lighting highlights the warm wood tones and classical silhouette.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year to nourish the wood finish. Position the table away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage, veneer lifting, or wood bleaching.
