The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the 18th century, a Georgian dresser base is a long, shallow storage piece featuring horizontal drawers supported by legs. Originally designed for food preparation and serving in country kitchens, these pieces transitioned into dining rooms and hallways as practical servers.

These pieces were typically constructed from native British hardwoods such as oak, elm, and fruitwoods. Key construction features include hand-dovetailed drawer joints, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, and brass bail or oval plate handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed timber surfaces, uneven saw marks on back panels, hand-cut dovetails, and aged brass hardware. Natural age-related shrinkage across wide timber planks, such as drawer linings or top boards, also indicates period authenticity.

A Georgian dresser base functions well as a console table in a hallway or as a server behind a dining table. Pairing the natural timber grain with modern art, ceramic vessels, or minimalist lighting creates a balanced contrast between historic character and modern design.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year along the wood grain. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, cracking, or colour fading.
