FAQs

Carolean furniture dates from the reign of King Charles II during the late seventeenth century, a period marked by the Restoration of the monarchy, which introduced rich ornamentation, opulent carvings, and sophisticated use of native and exotic timbers to English design.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid oak frames with pine or deal drawer linings, frequently incorporating elaborate decorative techniques such as oyster veneering, cross-banding, and geometric mitred mouldings fixed with handmade iron pins.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetails, traditional tongue-and-groove drawer bases, hand-forged iron or brass hardware, and the natural patination and shrinkage of the timber that occurs over centuries of ageing.

A historic chest serves as a strong focal point in a contemporary room, working well when contrasted against minimalist white walls or paired with sleek, modern lighting to highlight the rich texture and grain of the aged wood.

Maintain antique oak by placing it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and nourish the surface periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern liquid polishes.
