FAQs

The George II style, spanning from 1727 to 1760, marked a transition from heavy walnut designs to the introduction of mahogany, characterised by architectural proportions, cabriole legs, and intricate carving.

Cabinet makers predominantly used native oak for structural carcasing and drawer linings, often veneered with finely figured walnut or burr walnut on the primary external surfaces, complemented by cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn timber boards, period-correct brass escutcheons and handles, and natural patination and oxidisation appropriate to the age of the wood.

Pairing an antique wooden chest with minimalist modern decor and neutral walls allows the rich grain and historical texture of the wood to serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically nourish the timber with high-quality microcrystalline wax to protect the historic finish.
