FAQs

The Georgian era, spanning the reigns of the first four Georges from 1714 to 1830, is characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and an evolution from heavy walnut to refined mahogany and painted finishes influenced by Palladian architecture.

Georgian cabinetmakers primarily used native timbers such as oak, pine, and elm for secondary framing and drawer linings, often utilising hand-cut dovetail joints for structural integrity and durability.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-cut dovetails, irregular hand-sawn timber marks on the backboards, original secondary woods, and signs of age such as shrinkage cracks and oxidisation around iron or brass fixings.

A painted antique chest serves as a functional focal point in a modern room, providing a textural contrast when paired with minimalist architecture, neutral walls, and contemporary lighting.

Preserve painted timber furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoiding chemical polishes that can degrade historic painted finishes.
