FAQs

Authenticity is indicated by hand-tool marks, hand-split timber, period-appropriate brass drop handles or escutcheons, natural oxidisation, and construction irregularities consistent with pre-industrial hand craftsmanship.

Pairing a dark antique oak piece with minimalist contemporary surroundings provides a striking architectural contrast, allowing the rich texture and historic craftsmanship to serve as a focal point in the room.

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

Pieces from this era were predominantly constructed from solid English oak, utilising traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-cut dovetails, and pegged frames without the use of modern metals.

Charles II period furniture, spanning the late 17th century, is characterised by robust construction, rich dark timbers like oak, and often features geometric mouldings and turned details reflecting the Restoration era.
