FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement, spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries, prioritised traditional craftsmanship, hand-carved details, and the use of natural materials such as solid oak over mass-produced industrial items.

Authentic pieces were typically constructed from solid native timbers like oak or walnut, featuring hand-chiselled relief carvings, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and bevelled glass secured with wooden backing boards.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, tool marks left by hand chisels, period-appropriate fixings, and the oxidisation of the mirror plate, which often shows subtle foxing or age spots.

Positioning the piece against a neutral or softly textured wall allows the intricate woodwork to act as a focal point, contrasting effectively with minimalist modern furnishings.

Dust the carvings gently with a soft, dry cloth and nourish the timber periodically with microcrystalline wax, avoiding harsh chemical sprays and excessive moisture.
