FAQs

Victorian furniture design spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901), characterised by a revival of historicism, robust proportions, and high-quality cabinet making using dense woods like mahogany and walnut.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and rosewood, often featuring hand-turned legs and traditional joinery like mortise and tenon.

Authentication involves examining hand-cut joinery, patination on the wood surfaces, traditional upholstery methods including horsehair or webbing, and characteristic tool marks consistent with 19th-century workshop production.

Pairing dark wood antique seating with a minimalist modern dining table creates a striking focal point through the contrast of eras, adding architectural weight and historical depth to the room.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent splitting, and nourish the surface periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone sprays.
