FAQs

The George II period spans from 1727 to 1760, characterised by a transition from heavy baroque designs to lighter, more refined classical influences, often utilising rich timbers like walnut and mahogany.

Master craftsmen typically employed solid oak for framing and drawer linings, veneered with figured walnut, and finished with delicate crossbanding, featherbanding, and hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authenticity is indicated by period-correct timber shrinkage, hand-forged iron or brass fixings, handmade secondary woods like oak or pine, and traditional joinery such as hand-cut dovetailing.

An antique chest works effectively as a statement piece in a contemporary bedroom or hallway, styled simply with minimal modern lighting or abstract art to create a balanced contrast.

Maintain antique walnut by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding fluctuating humidity levels, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the polished surface.
