FAQs

The Georgian period spans the reigns of the first four British monarchs named George from 1714 to 1830, characterised by a transition from heavy walnut to fine mahogany, drawing heavily on Palladian and neoclassical architectural proportions.

Cabinet makers predominantly used solid mahogany and dense hardwoods, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, pegged tenon joints, and cast brass hardware such as drop handles and escutcheons.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber shrinkage, hand-sawn secondary woods like oak or pine inside drawers, irregular hand-cut dovetailing, and the presence of period-appropriate patination and oxidisation.

A historical piece of furniture grounds a modern room by adding textural contrast, and works effectively when paired with minimalist seating and neutral walls to let the timber grain serve as the focal point.

Maintain a stable room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood splitting, and periodically nourish the surface using traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
