FAQs

Georgian furniture spans the reigns of the first four Georges, characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and a transition from heavy walnut to lighter mahogany as the primary timber.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods like oak or pine, joined using hand-cut dovetails on the drawer construction.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hand-cut dovetail joints, hand- forged or cast brass hardware, timber shrinkage, and genuine oxidisation and wear patterns consistent with eighteenth-century craftsmanship.

Pair the traditional dark wood piece with neutral walls and contemporary abstract art to create a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern minimalism.

Maintain antique timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat it periodically with microcrystalline wax while avoiding modern silicone-based polishes.
