Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century Scandinavian furniture often integrated regional interpretations of Empire and Biedermeier styles, characterised by clean geometric lines, simple silhouettes, and a prominent focus on natural wood grain patterns such as burr walnut and birch.

Chests of drawers from this period typically featured a solid softwood carcase, such as pine or deal, veneered with decorative hardwoods like burr walnut or mahogany, secured with animal hide glues and finished with French polish or wax.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer linings, hand-planed back panels, period-appropriate brass or iron locks, and natural signs of timber shrinkage or light oxidation consistent with age.

A burr walnut chest serves as a focal anchor when set against neutral or contemporary backdrops, complementing minimalist architecture by offering visual texture through its symmetrical, book-matched timber grain.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain every few months, avoid direct exposure to heat sources or prolonged sunlight, and maintain stable indoor humidity to prevent veneer lifting.
