FAQs

The Georgian style encompasses the reigns of the first four Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, sophisticated craftsmanship, and the heavy influence of prominent designers such as Thomas Chippendale, George Hepplewhite, and Thomas Sheraton.

Georgian armchairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, and oak, often featuring hand-carved details and upholstered drop-in seats covered in traditional textiles such as horsehair cloth, damask, or needlepoint.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery techniques like hand-cut dovetails and tenons, signs of age-related oxidisation and wear within the timber, traditional tool marks, and consistent timber species throughout the internal framing rather than modern fasteners.

These chairs function effectively as statement pieces when contrasted against minimalist modern decor, neutral walls, and clean architectural lines, or they can be integrated seamlessly into a traditional study or living room alongside contemporary textiles.

Preserve antique wood by keeping items away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking, applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the finish, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on both the wood and upholstery.
