FAQs

Mahogany became the premier timber for cabinet makers during the 18th and 19th centuries, prized for its deep grain, strength, and ability to take a fine polish. Chests of drawers from this era evolved from simple plank constructions into sophisticated storage pieces with graduated drawers and elaborate decorative elements.

Authentic period pieces are constructed from solid timber or high-grade veneers over secondary woods like pine or oak, utilising traditional hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer boxes. Drawer linings, backboards, and internal framing consistently show hand-tool marks and period-appropriate fixings.

Authentication involves examining the drawer construction for hand-cut dovetails, checking the timber for shrinkage cracks and natural oxidisation, and inspecting the backboards for age-related patina. Original brass or wooden turned knobs and hand-beveled drawer dividers also indicate period manufacture.

An antique chest provides a rich textural contrast in contemporary spaces, functioning effectively as a focal point topped with minimalist ceramics or a simple mirror. Pairing historical timber pieces with neutral walls and clean-lined contemporary furnishings grounds the room with architectural weight.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting and veneer lifting. Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and occasionally nourish the wood with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone-based polishes.
