FAQs

The George I period, spanning from 1714 to 1727, is characterised by a transition from heavier baroque designs to more restrained, elegant forms, often featuring the prominent use of figured walnut veneers and cabriole legs.

Pieces from this era typically employed oak or pine as secondary woods, faced with highly figured walnut veneers. Construction features hand-cut dovetails on drawer joints, cross-banding, and herring-bone inlay.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber oxidisation, hand-cut dovetailing, original brass hardware placement, secondary woods appropriate to the period, and the natural grain patterns characteristic of early 18th-century veneering.

This piece works effectively as a statement anchor in a contemporary bedroom or hallway, paired with neutral walls and minimalist lighting to highlight the rich grain and texture of the wood.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer splitting. Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to nourish the finish.
