  • StyleWilliam and Mary
  • MaterialWalnut, Oak, Brass
  • ColourWarm Brown

William and Mary furniture, spanning the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is characterised by Dutch influences, geometric ornamentation, trumpet-turned legs, flat stretchers, and the use of walnut and marquetry veneers.

Pieces from this era typically employed solid oak or pine secondary woods with burr walnut or feather-banded veneers applied to the primary surfaces, fastened with hand-cut dovetails and pegged joints.

Authentication involves examining hand-cut dovetail joints, tool marks from pit saws, original or period-correct brass hardware, and the natural oxidisation and shrinkage patterns in the timber.

This piece works effectively as a statement focal point in a living room or hallway, paired with minimalist modern decor to highlight its rich grain and historical form.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically nourish the wood with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone-based polishes.
