FAQs

The George II style, spanning roughly from 1727 to 1760, marked a transition from heavy walnut designs to more refined proportions, characterized by the introduction of the cabriole leg, pad or claw-and-ball feet, and shaped splats on chair backs.

These chairs were predominantly constructed from dense timbers such as walnut or mahogany, utilizing traditional joinery techniques including mortise and tenon frames, hand-carved details, and drop-in upholstered seats supported by webbing.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, timber shrinkage, historical oxidisation within the joints, and hand-cut joinery rather than modern machine fixings or standardized screws.

Integrating period seating around a minimalist modern table or placing a single chair in an empty corner provides a striking contrast, blending historical craftsmanship with clean contemporary lines.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking, applying occasional microcrystalline wax, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the polished finish.
