FAQs

The George III style spans the mid-to-late 18th century, characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and the influence of master cabinetmakers such as Thomas Chippendale and George Hepplewhite.

Pieces from this era typically feature solid mahogany or fine veneers applied to secondary woods, complemented by hand-cut dovetail joints, stringing inlay, and cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is assessed by examining timber age, hand-carved details, traditional joinery methods such as hand-cut dovetails, and the natural patination and oxidisation of the wood surfaces over centuries.

Pairing period furniture with modern lighting, neutral walls, and minimalist accessories creates a balanced interior scheme that highlights the rich texture and historic character of the timber.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
