FAQs

The William and Mary style, spanning roughly from 1689 to 1702, is characterised by Dutch influences, geometric ornamentation, intricate marquetry, and distinctive turned feet.

Pieces from this era typically employed native and exotic timbers such as oak, pine, walnut, and olive, frequently decorated with complex veneers and brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetailing, traditional timber shrinkage, original patination, and period-appropriate iron or brass fixings.

This piece can serve as a focal point in a neutral or minimalist room, allowing its rich textures and historical craftsmanship to provide a striking contrast against modern architecture.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat it periodically with microcrystalline wax to preserve the finish without harming the historic surface.
