FAQs

Seventeenth-century furniture is characterised by solid timber construction, pegged joints, and geometric mouldings, reflecting the joinery techniques of the Jacobean and Stuart periods.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from native English oak, often incorporating wrought iron or brass drop handles, escutcheons, and handmade timber pins.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hand-cut dovetails, tool marks on the timber, hand-split oak boards on drawer linings, and the natural patina accumulated over centuries of use.

An antique chest provides textural contrast in contemporary spaces, serving as a functional storage unit beneath modern art or paired with minimalist decor to highlight its age.

Preserve antique oak by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the timber.
