The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Popularised in England during the late seventeenth century, William and Mary furniture is characterised by Dutch and French influences, featuring lighter proportions, elaborate marquetry, turned legs, and decorative veneering techniques like oyster cut wood.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised walnut, olivewood, laburnum, or kingwood branches cut transversally to display cross-section rings. These veneers were applied to oak or pine carcases and complemented by brass tear-drop hardware.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn dovetail joints, thick hand-cut veneer layers, original brass drop handles with split-pin fastenings, and natural wood shrinkage consistent with centuries of age.

Position the piece as a focal point in a hallway or drawing room, balancing its rich timber tones against neutral walls, contemporary lighting, or minimalist ceramics.

Maintain stable humidity to prevent veneer lifting, clean gently with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly while avoiding synthetic sprays and direct sunlight.
