The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the nineteenth century, Victorian music cabinets were designed to store sheet music and accessories in domestic drawing rooms, often featuring tiered shelving, brass gallery rails, and decorative wood veneers.

Cabinetmakers typically utilised high-grade native and imported timbers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, combining figured wood veneers with brass gallery rails, carved fretwork supports, and glass panelled doors.

Authentic pieces exhibit period features such as hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass castors and hardware, natural timber oxidisation, and slice-cut burr walnut veneers applied over solid wood cores.

These versatile storage units function effectively in contemporary spaces as hallway console tables, cocktail servers, or bedside cabinets, providing both architectural interest and practical storage for books or glassware.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or fading, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying natural beeswax periodically to protect the polished surface finish.
