Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

A Georgian low linen press is an 18th-century timber cabinet designed with double doors and enclosed shelves or sliding trays for storing folded household textiles. Unlike full-height linen presses that feature drawers beneath, low versions maintain a compact height raised on bracket feet.

George III craftsmen predominantly used solid and veneered mahogany for exterior surfaces due to its dense grain and durability. Secondary woods such as pine, oak, or deal were typically employed for internal framing, drawer linings, and back panels.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display signs of period construction, including hand-sawn backboards, hand-cut dovetail joints, and period-appropriate hardware like brass side carrying handles. Timber surfaces show natural age-related oxidisation on unseen areas such as the back and underside.

A low linen press functions well as a dining room sideboard, hallway credenza, or media console. The flat top surface accommodates lighting, framed artwork, and decorative ceramics, integrating historical furniture into contemporary living spaces.

Keep mahogany furniture away from direct sunlight, radiators, and damp conditions to prevent wood shrinkage or cracking. Regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth and annual application of beeswax polish maintains the wood finish.
