FAQs

Maintain the item by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding direct sunlight and excessive moisture, and applying a microcrystalline wax to the wood periodically.

An antique wooden tray can be used on a coffee table or sideboard to corral smaller decorative objects, glassware, or candles, adding textural contrast and historical interest to modern spaces.

Authenticity is determined by construction methods such as dovetail joints, hand-turned elements, aged patination on the wood, and hallmarks or maker marks on the metal components.

These pieces frequently utilise native and exotic hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or satinwood, often complemented by silver-plated brass galleries, mounts, and integrated handles.

Edwardian design typically reflects a lighter, more refined aesthetic compared to the heavy ornamentation of the Victorian era, often combining polished woods with refined metal galleries and neoclassical motifs.
