FAQs

Maintain a stable room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat sources, apply quality beeswax periodically, and avoid silicone-based polishes to protect the historic finish.

Placing a historic timber chest within a contemporary minimalist setting creates a striking focal point, adding warmth, texture, and architectural gravity to the space.

Authenticity is determined by hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct secondary woods like oak or pine, original drawer linings, and natural patina resulting from centuries of oxidisation.

Master craftsmen typically utilised solid mahogany, oak for secondary framing, and fine veneers such as flame mahogany or burl walnut, complemented by cast brass hardware.

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the first four Georges, characterised by classical proportions, sophisticated craftsmanship, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber.
