FAQs

Seventeenth-century oak furniture is characterised by solid timber construction, heavy proportions, hand-carved ornamentation, and a deep patinated finish developed over centuries of use.

These pieces were constructed almost exclusively from solid English oak, joined using traditional mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs rather than metal nails.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand- adzed or pit-sawn board surfaces, irregular tool marks, shrinkage splits, pegged joints, and natural wax patination built up over generations.

Pairing a historic oak table with contemporary minimalist seating or sleek lighting creates a balanced contrast, allowing the rich texture and grain of the wood to serve as a focal point.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically nourish the wood with a traditional beeswax polish to protect the finish without sealing the pores.
