FAQs

Scottish cabinet making from the 19th and early 20th centuries often featured high-quality regional timbers such as satin birch and mahogany, combining traditional craftsmanship with refined proportions.

These pieces typically employ solid secondary woods with carefully matched decorative veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, and traditional brass or bronze hardware.

Authenticity is identified by examining hand-planed interior surfaces, traditional joinery techniques, maker marks or stamps, and the natural oxidisation of the timber over time.

A substantial wooden piece works effectively as a focal point in a high-ceilinged bedroom, balancing clean modern walls with natural texture and warmth.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically nourish the timber surface using traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
