FAQs

Victorian furniture is characterised by a revival of historical styles, notably Rococo and Elizabethan revivals, featuring elaborate carving, curved lines, and rich wood grains.

Authentic period chairs are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, often utilising mortise and tenon joinery with hand-carved details and applied burr veneer.

Key indicators of authenticity include hand-cut joinery, signs of age-related wear on the timber, traditional Upholstery techniques using horsehair or coil springs, and natural oxidisation of the wood finish.

Pairing antique wooden seating with a contemporary minimalist table creates a striking eclectic contrast, while placing them around a traditional table maintains a cohesive, classic aesthetic.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood.
