FAQs

Georgian style furniture, prevalent during the 18th and early 19th centuries, is characterised by classical proportions, sophisticated symmetry, and the predominant use of imported timbers such as mahogany.

Traditional bookcases were typically constructed from solid hardwoods or fine veneers over secondary woods, utilising joinery techniques such as dovetailing for drawers and mortise and tenon frames.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber shrinkage, hand-cut joinery marks, historical tool use, patination, and the construction methods consistent with the stated period.

An antique bookcase brings warmth and texture to modern spaces, serving as a focal point when contrasted against minimalist walls or paired with contemporary seating.

Antique mahogany should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and maintained using traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
