FAQs

Victorian furniture spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and is characterised by a revival of historicism styles, robust construction, and often elaborate ornamentation, transitioning from heavy classical proportions to more ornate, flowing lines later in the period.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, and oak, frequently utilizing figured veneers to create striking grain patterns. Construction typically involved hand-cut dovetail joints for the drawers and solid secondary timbers for the internal framing.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction techniques, such as hand-cut dovetailing, signs of age-appropriate oxidisation and wear on internal secondary woods, original hardware fixings, and the natural patination of the timber.

A Victorian chest serves as a grounding focal point in contemporary spaces, providing rich textures and warm tones that contrast effectively against minimalist walls, neutral palettes, or mixed-material schemes.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping or veneer cracking. Dusting should be performed regularly with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding silicone-based polishes in favour of traditional microcrystalline waxes.
