FAQs

The Georgian era spans the reigns of the first four British monarchs named George, from 1714 to 1830. Furniture from this period is characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber.

Cabinet makers predominantly used solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, often supplemented with secondary softwoods such as pine or oak for drawer linings and internal framing. Brass hardware and leather writing surfaces were also common.

Authentication involves inspecting timber patination, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, tool marks indicating manual woodworking, and period-appropriate fixings. Genuine pieces exhibit age-related wear and shrinkage consistent with centuries of use.

An antique desk adds historical texture and warmth when paired with contemporary seating, minimalist lighting, and clean-handed styling. It functions effectively as a focal point in a home office or living room.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood splitting. Clean surfaces with a soft, dry cloth and periodically nourish the timber with traditional beeswax polish.
