FAQs

Tambour furniture, characterised by its slatted sliding doors, gained immense popularity in offices during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a space-saving solution for storing documents.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid oak with individual narrow wooden slats glued to a canvas or linen backing, allowing the door to curve smoothly along internal tracks.

Authenticity is indicated by quarter-sawn oak grain patterns, traditional dovetail joints, brass hardware, and mechanical action where the lock engages the tambour slat directly.

Such pieces can be integrated as functional storage in a study or as a contrasting sculptural element in a modern living room, paired with minimalist seating.

Maintain the wood by applying microcrystalline wax periodically, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
