FAQs

Victorian furniture, spanning the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, is characterised by robust construction, a revival of historical motifs, and the prominent use of rich, dark timbers such as mahogany and walnut.

Authentic pieces from this era typically feature solid timber frames, hand-cut dovetail joints in drawer construction, and hand-blown sheet glass secured with traditional putty or wooden glazing bars.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the joinery for hand tool marks, checking for period-appropriate timber shrinkage, inspecting the glass for historical imperfections, and verifying the presence of original brass hardware or locks.

Balancing historical gravitas in a modern space involves filling the shelves with a curated mix of books, ceramics, and sculptural objects, allowing the rich grain of the wood to act as a grounding architectural feature.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, occasionally feeding the timber with traditional beeswax, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
