FAQs

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the first four Georges, characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber used by master cabinetmakers.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or fine mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods like oak or pine, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and panelled doors.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetailing, period-correct brass fixings, signs of natural ageing and patina in the timber, and construction methods consistent with 18th or early 19th-century joinery.

Such a substantial piece works well as a grounding focal point in a study or living space, pairing effectively with minimalist modern seating and neutral walls to let the rich wood grain stand out.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading, and feed the timber periodically with a traditional beeswax polish to maintain its moisture and finish.
