The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A bonheur du jour is a type of small writing desk that was introduced in Paris in the 18th century and later adopted in Britain. It typically features a cabinet or shelf unit on top of a table base with slender legs.

Furniture of the George III period frequently employed native light woods such as satinwood alongside imported mahogany. Inlays, painted floral decoration, and cast brass hardware were common structural and decorative elements.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed secondary woods such as pine or oak, and natural surface wear. Hand-painted panels from this period show delicate, layered brushwork that has aged under varnish.

A bonheur du jour can serve as an occasional writing desk in a bedroom, a focal point in a hallway, or a compact workstation in a living room, pairing well with understated modern lighting and contemporary artwork.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and moisture sources to prevent fading and veneer lifting. Dust gently with a soft microfiber cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax sparingly to clear wood surfaces, avoiding direct wax application on hand-painted detailing.
