Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century writing tables frequently incorporate neoclassical or revival influences, characterised by symmetrical proportions, refined wood veneers, and classical decorative mounts.

These pieces typically feature a hardwood or softwood carcase veneered in fine timbers such as mahogany, satinwood, or walnut, assembled with traditional joinery and accented with cast gilt-bronze or ormolu mounts.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-cut dovetailing in the drawers, the natural oxidation and wear on the ormolu and timber surfaces, and the use of period-appropriate construction techniques.

Positioning a period desk in a modern room provides a striking focal point, contrasting clean architectural lines with the rich texture and history of traditional woodworking.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, clean wood surfaces with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners on both the timber and gilt bronze.
