FAQs

The George I period, spanning from 1714 to 1727, is characterised by a transition from heavy baroque forms to more refined, elegant proportions, with a strong focus on figured wood veneers like walnut.

Pieces from this era typically feature native and imported timbers, notably walnut veneers laid over oak or pine secondary woods, often accented with crossbanding, herringbone stringing, and solid brass hardware.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-cut dovetails, oak drawer linings, original or period-correct brasses, and natural patination on the timber surface developed over centuries of oxidisation.

Pairing historical wooden furniture with clean-walled contemporary spaces creates a sophisticated contrast, allowing the rich grain and texture of the antique timber to act as a focal point.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat the wood periodically with traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
