FAQs

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the British monarchs George I through George IV, characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense timbers such as mahogany or oak, featuring dovetail joints on the drawers, brass swing handles, and secondary woods like pine or oak for drawer linings.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage patterns, original brass hardware or ghost marks from previous fittings, and the uniformity of tool marks consistent with period hand-working.

Pairing a dark wood antique bureau with modern minimalist seating or placing it against a neutral painted wall creates a balanced focal point that highlights its rich timber tones and craftsmanship.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and occasionally apply traditional beeswax to nourish the wood finish.
