FAQs

Antique mahogany should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and maintained using traditional beeswax applied sparingly with a soft cloth to preserve the natural patina.

A drop-leaf table provides versatile functionality in modern spaces, serving as a compact centrepiece when closed or an extended dining surface when opened, contrasting effectively against minimalist walls and contemporary seating.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber for period-correct tool marks, hand-carved joints, natural oxidisation, uniform shrinkage patterns, and the absence of modern machine-cut fasteners or synthetic adhesives.

Cabinet makers predominantly utilised dense tropical hardwoods such as Cuban and Honduras mahogany, alongside native timbers for secondary framing, joined with traditional mortise and tenon construction and hand-cut dovetails.

The George II style, spanning from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by a transition from heavier walnut designs to the sophisticated use of imported mahogany, featuring graceful cabriole legs and pad or claw-and-ball feet influenced by Palladian and early Rococo aesthetics.
