FAQs

The George I period, spanning from 1714 to 1727, is characterised by architectural symmetry, the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber, and refined proportions with restrained ornamentation.

These pieces were typically constructed using native oak or pine as secondary woods, faced with figured walnut veneers using cross-banded and herringbone stringing inlay, and assembled with hand-cut dovetails.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetail joints, old patination on the timber, original brass hardware or properly filled old fixing holes, and traditional secondary woods consistent with the period.

This piece works effectively as a functional focal point in a living room or study, paired with minimalist modern art or lighting to create a sophisticated contrast between old and new.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically apply natural beeswax to nourish the timber and protect the historical finish.
