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

The Chippendale style, popular during the mid-to-late 18th century, draws heavily from Gothic, Rococo, and Chinese aesthetic influences, characterised by intricate fretwork, carved details, and high-quality cabinet making.

These boxes were typically constructed from dense timbers such as mahogany or oak, featuring dovetail joints for durability, brass carrying handles, and delicate interior compartments designed to secure glass phials and instruments.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber grain, hand-cut dovetailing, period-appropriate brass hardware, historical wear patterns, and the presence of old hand-planed surfaces rather than modern machine tooling.

Such pieces function well as statement objects on sideboards or console tables, adding historical texture and a sense of curiosity to contemporary living spaces.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the polished surface.
