FAQs

Neoclassical furniture design emerged in the mid-18th century, drawing direct inspiration from the classical art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, prioritising symmetry, restraint, and classical motifs.

These pieces typically feature solid mahogany and mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, constructed with traditional joinery such as dovetails and mortise-and-tenon frames, often accented with cast brass mounts.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber shrinkage, hand-cut dovetail joints, tool marks on secondary woods, patination of the brass hardware, and the construction methods consistent with period cabinetmaking.

Pairing a formal timber bookcase with contemporary seating and minimalist lighting creates a balanced scheme that highlights the historical texture without overwhelming the room.

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