FAQs

The Georgian era spans the reigns of the first four Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by a transition from heavy, dark woods to refined mahogany, incorporating classical proportions and influences from Palladianism, rococo, and neoclassical design.

Georgian chairs were predominantly crafted from dense tropical hardwoods such as mahogany, using traditional joinery methods like mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved details, and drop-in upholstered seats secured by webbing.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, natural patina and oxidisation on secondary timbers, hand-cut dovetails or joinery, and wear patterns consistent with age rather than artificial distress.

Pairing a formal antique armchair with contemporary minimalist furnishings creates a curated, eclectic contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the period without overwhelming the room.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and occasionally apply microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber without sealing it.
