FAQs

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the first four British monarchs named George (1714 to 1830), characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods like pine, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and solid brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction traits such as hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage consistent with age, original backboards, and hand-forged or cast brass handles without modern machine marks.

A classic mahogany chest functions effectively as a focal point in a modern setting when paired with minimalist contemporary art, neutral walls, and clean-lined accessories to balance the rich, dark wood tones.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and nourish the wood periodically using traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
