Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

A Queen Anne escritoire is a tall writing cabinet originating from the early 18th century, featuring a fall-front flap that conceals a fitted interior of pigeonholes and small drawers, often set above a chest of drawers.

These pieces typically employ oak or pine as secondary woods, faced with finely figured walnut veneers and burr walnut, accented with feather banding, cross-banding, and cast brass drop handles and escutcheons.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetails, original secondary wood timbers, the presence of historical shrinkage cracks in the veneers, hand-forged iron or brass hardware, and traditional pegged joinery.

Anchor the piece in a study, library, or living room to add warmth and texture, allowing its rich wood tones to contrast against neutral walls, paired with minimal contemporary art to balance historical and modern elements.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels and keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking. Feed the timber periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
