FAQs

Victorian furniture spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, characterised by a revival of historicism, rich wood veneers such as walnut and mahogany, and intricate craftsmanship.

Cabinet makers typically utilised secondary woods like pine or oak for internal structures and drawer linings, while applying highly figured decorative veneers such as burr walnut to external surfaces.

Authenticity indicators include hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional wood-lined drawer boxes, natural wax patination, and period-correct brass or cast-iron hardware.

Pairing dark, figured wood furniture with neutral walls, minimalist decor, and contemporary textiles creates a balanced contrast that highlights the rich grain and texture of the piece.

Maintain walnut furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a quality beeswax to nourish the wood.
