FAQs

The Sheraton style, prominent in the late 18th century, is characterised by neoclassical lines, delicate proportions, contrasting veneers, and straight, tapered legs.

Cabinet makers typically utilised high-grade timbers such as mahogany, often accented with satinwood inlay, ebony stringing, and brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, timber shrinkage patterns, period-correct brass castors, and secondary woods like pine or oak used in hidden areas.

Pairing the rich wood tones with contemporary seating and minimalist artwork creates a balanced contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the piece without overwhelming the room.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and periodically applying high-quality beeswax to nourish the timber, avoiding silicone-based sprays and direct sunlight.
