FAQs

Georgian chairs, produced during the reigns of Kings George I to IV, are characterised by classical proportions, elaborate carved details, and the adoption of mahogany as a primary timber.

Cabinet makers predominantly utilised dense tropical hardwoods such as mahogany, often incorporating mortise and tenon joinery and hand-woven or upholstered drop-in seat frames.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut joinery, timber ageing characteristics, tool marks, and construction methods consistent with pre-industrial joinery.

Pairing historical seating with contemporary minimalist dining tables creates a balanced interior, adding texture, heritage contrast, and sculptural interest to a room.

Maintain timber condition by keeping pieces away from direct sunlight and heat sources, avoiding silicone-based polishes, and applying microcrystalline wax sparingly.
