FAQs

Georgian furniture spans the reigns of King George I through IV, characterising classical proportions, symmetry, and a transition from heavy walnut to refined mahogany timber with architectural influences.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid mahogany and pine secondary woods, employing hand-cut dovetail joints for drawer construction and pegged mortise and tenon frames.

Authentication relies on examining hand-sawn timber marks, original brass hardware with cast rather than extruded details, and irregular shrinkage patterns appropriate for age.

Pairing historical timber pieces with minimalist modern upholstery or neutral walls creates a balanced focal point that highlights the rich grain and craftsmanship.

Maintenance requires dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and occasionally feeding the wood with natural beeswax, avoiding silicone-based polishes and direct sunlight.
