FAQs

The George III period spans the mid-to-late 18th century, characterised by a transition from heavy Palladian and Rococo influences to more refined neoclassical designs popularised by makers like Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton.

Makers during this era predominantly used dense, durable hardwoods such as imported Cuban and Honduras mahogany, frequently combined with traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the secondary timbers used in hidden areas, the hand-cut joinery, the natural patination and wax build-up on the wood, and the presence of tool marks consistent with period hand-working.

Pairing historical timber seating with minimalist architecture, neutral walls, or contemporary textiles creates a balanced contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the antique piece.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and periodically nourish the surface with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone sprays.
