FAQs

Victorian furniture encompasses a diverse range of revival styles drawing inspiration from Gothic, Elizabethan, and Rococo periods, typically characterised by heavy proportions, dark woods, and intricate hand-carved details.

Cabinet makers of the Victorian period predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and oak, often paired with hand-blown cylinder glass for glazed doors.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction markers such as hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, old stock glass with minor imperfections or ripples, traditional wood screws, and aged patina on the timber surfaces.

Pairing dark wood antique furniture with neutral, light walls and minimalist contemporary decor creates a balanced focal point that highlights the rich grain and craftsmanship of the piece.

Maintain antique wood by placing it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and apply occasional high-quality beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes to nourish the finish.
