FAQs

The George II period spans from 1727 to 1760, characterised by a transition from heavier walnut designs to the widespread adoption of rich mahogany, featuring sturdy proportions, architectural mouldings, and skilled cabinet-making techniques.

Authentic pieces from this era typically utilise solid timber or dense veneers over secondary woods like pine or oak, joined using hand-cut dovetails on drawer construction and pegged frames, accompanied by cast brass handle hardware.

Authentication involves inspecting the secondary woods for signs of age, checking for hand-cut dovetails, observing natural oxidisation and wear patterns within the drawer runners, and verifying period-appropriate brass handles and escutcheons.

Pairing dark wood antiques with neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and contemporary art creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the rich grain and historical character of the piece without overwhelming the room.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the antique polish.
