The William and Mary style, prevalent in the late 17th century, is characterised by Dutch influences, geometric mouldings, panelled construction, and the introduction of more sophisticated joinery and hardware.

These pieces were typically constructed from native timbers such as oak, walnut, and sometimes pine for secondary elements, utilising hand-cut dovetails and pegged frame-and-panel construction.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand- sawn timber marks, hand- forged iron or brass hardware, period-appropriate joinery like mortise and tenon, and natural oxidation and wear patterns consistent with age.

A period chest of drawers can serve as a striking focal point in a modern hallway or living room, contrasted against neutral walls and minimalist lighting to highlight its rich grain and historical texture.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, avoiding silicone-based polishes, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the finish.
