FAQs

The George III style spans the mid-to-late 18th century, characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and a transition from heavy mahogany to lighter, more elegant neoclassical designs.

Authentic pieces typically utilise solid mahogany and secondary softwoods like pine, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and solid brass hardware.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage consistent with age, original backboards, and correct brass swing handles with cast backplates.

Pairing this traditional wooden piece with minimalist walls and contemporary art creates a balanced contrast that highlights the rich grain of the timber.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and periodically applying quality beeswax to nourish the wood.
