FAQs

Georgian furniture spans the reigns of the four Georges, characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and a transition from heavier walnut to lighter mahogany and painted finishes.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, pegged mortise and tenon frames, and solid timber secondary woods such as pine or oak.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-forged iron or brass fixings, irregular hand-planed surfaces, natural timber shrinkage, and traditional tool marks rather than uniform modern machine processing.

Pairing historical timber pieces with minimalist modern decor creates a balanced contrast, allowing the craftsmanship and rich texture of the antique to serve as a focal point.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoid direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, and apply occasional high-quality beeswax to nourish the finish.
