FAQs

Georgian furniture from the late 18th century is characterised by classical proportions, refined symmetry, and the widespread use of high-quality dense hardwoods such as Cuban mahogany.

Craftsmen typically utilised Cuban or West Indian mahogany for its stability and rich grain, constructing joints with hand-cut dovetails and securing brass swan-neck handles with cast nuts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn drawer linings, original secondary timbers such as oak or pine, tool marks on unexposed undersides, and natural oxidisation on original brass hardware.

A Georgian writing table can serve as a compact desk in a home office, a hall console in an entryway, or a side table alongside contemporary upholstered seating to add historical contrast.

Maintain the timber finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year while keeping the table away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
