FAQs

Edwardian furniture, spanning the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by lighter proportions, revival influences from Sheraton and Hepplewhite designs, and frequent use of satinwood and mahogany with delicate stringing.

These pieces typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany or satinwood, often accented with boxwood stringing, brass hardware, and inset writing surfaces made of leather or tooled skiver.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-cut dovetails in the interior drawers, genuine patination on the timber and leather, and functional mechanical folding or sliding mechanisms rather than modern mass-produced hinges.

Pair the historical wooden piece with a minimalist modern chair to create a striking contrast, or place it within a study to serve as a functional yet visually rich focal point.

Maintain the timber by applying high-quality microcrystalline wax periodically, avoid placing the item in direct sunlight to prevent fading, and clean the leather surface gently with a dry or barely damp cloth without harsh chemicals.
