FAQs

Early 20th-century teak garden furniture, often associated with makers like Lister of Dursley, is characterised by heavy-duty construction, mortise and tenon joints, and the use of dense heartwood teak designed to withstand the elements.

These pieces were crafted primarily from sustainable Asian teak, utilising traditional joinery techniques such as dowels and pegged mortise and tenon joints without relying on modern metal fasteners.

Authenticity is typically verified by makers stamps or brass plaques, characteristic weathered silver-grey patination, solid heavyweight construction, and period-specific design proportions.

Vintage teak can be integrated into modern landscaping by pairing the naturally silvered wood with minimalist paving, neutral exterior textiles, and contemporary architectural plantings.

Antique teak requires minimal maintenance; regular washing with mild soapy water removes surface dirt, while leaving the wood untreated allows it to maintain its natural protective silver patina.
