FAQs

Georgian linen presses emerged in the 18th century as elite storage solutions for households, primarily used to fold and store household linens and garments before fitted wardrobes became standard.

These pieces were traditionally crafted from dense native and imported timbers such as mahogany or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction and pegged tenon joints.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as hand-planed timber surfaces, old brass cast hardware, hand-cut dovetailing, and natural oxidisation within the secondary woods.

This piece works effectively as a statement storage solution in a bedroom or hallway, contrasting against neutral plastered walls to highlight the rich tone of the timber.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heating vents, applying occasional applications of traditional beeswax, and avoiding silicone-based commercial polishes.
