FAQs

Victorian side cabinets typically feature rich wood veneers, elaborate marquetry or inlay work, brass or gilt bronze mounts, and glass-fronted doors designed to display prized possessions and ceramics.

These cabinets were predominantly built using a secondary softwood carcass overlaid with high-value decorative veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, complemented by contrasting wood inlays for floral marquetry motifs.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut wood veneers with natural grain variations, hand-cut dovetail joints on internal timber, traditional shellac French polishing, and subtle signs of age such as minor shrinkage and oxidisation in the brass hardware.

Pairing ornate walnut cabinets with minimalist walls and neutral textures creates a striking focal point, allowing the intricate wood grain and floral marquetry to stand out without overwhelming the space.

Keep veneered furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the delicate burr walnut from drying and cracking, and maintain the finish by occasionally applying high-grade beeswax without using modern silicone sprays.
