FAQs

Chippendale furniture, named after the mid-18th-century English cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale, is characterised by solid mahogany construction, well-proportioned architectural forms, bracket feet, and brass swan-neck hardware.

Georgian chests were predominantly constructed using solid Cuban or West Indian mahogany for external surfaces, often backed with pine or oak drawer linings, and fitted with solid cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-dovetailed drawer joints, period-correct wood shrinkage across solid top boards, original cast brass hardware, and hand-sawn back panels showing historic tool marks.

Position the piece as a focal focal storage unit in a bedroom, hallway, or living space, balancing the rich dark wood tones with light wall paint, modern lamps, or understated contemporary artwork.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and timber bleaching.
