FAQs

Dating from the 18th to early 19th century, Georgian bedside tables and washstands were created for functional bedroom utility, incorporating straight legs, scalloped aprons, and tiered shelving or basin apertures.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany timber, valued for its rich grain, paired with hand-dovetailed drawer linings and brass ring or drop handles.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-planed timber, hand-cut dovetail joinery within the drawers, authentic brass hardware patination, and timber shrinkage consistent with age.

Position the piece as an occasional side table beside an armchair or as a compact nightstand in a bedroom setting to create texture and historic contrast against contemporary decor.

Apply high-quality beeswax sparingly along the wood grain twice yearly, dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and position the table away from direct sunlight or radiators.
