FAQs

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the first four Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and refined craftsmanship that evolved from heavy baroque forms into lighter neoclassical designs.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid mahogany or oak timbers, often featuring highly figured veneerlays such as flame mahogany or burr walnut, joined together using traditional hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer boxes.

Authentication involves examining the drawer construction for hand-cut dovetails, checking for original brass hardware or ghost marks from past fittings, and inspecting the timber for appropriate age-related oxidisation and shrinkage.

An antique serpentine chest works well as a focal point in a living room or bedroom, paired with contemporary minimalist art or a simple ceramic lamp to create a balanced contrast between old and new.

Protect antique wood by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the timber without building up heavy chemical residues.
