FAQs

Burr walnut gained immense popularity during the late 17th century and the Victorian era due to its highly figured, swirling grain patterns created by tree growths, making it a prized material for high-end cabinet makers.

These pieces typically utilise fine walnut veneers applied over solid secondary woods like oak or pine, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and traditional brass hardware.

Authenticity can be verified by examining the hand-cut dovetailing, the depth of the patina in the timber, the natural irregularities in the veneer, and the type of fixings and locks used.

Pairing this rich, textured wood with minimalist walls, neutral textiles, and contemporary lighting allows the natural grain to stand out as a sophisticated focal point.

Maintain walnut furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and occasionally applying a quality beeswax to nourish the wood.
