Tulipwood

Brazilian tulipwood is a  classic high-quality wood, it is very dense with a lovely figure. It is used for inlays in furniture and for small turned items. Available only in small sizes, it is rarely used in the solid for luxury furniture. Like other woods with a pronounced figure it is rather strongly subject to fashion.

Burr Walnut

refers to the swirling figure present in nearly all walnut when cut and polished, and especially in the wood taken from the base of the tree where it joins the roots.

However the true burr is a rare growth on the tree where hundreds of tiny branches have started to grow. Burr walnut produce some of the most complex and beautiful figuring you can find.

Ormolu

(from French 'or moulu', signifying ground or pounded gold) is an 18th-century English term for applying finely ground, high-carat gold in a mercury amalgam to an object of bronze.The mercury is driven off in a kiln leaving behind a gold-coloured veneer known as 'gilt bronze'.

The manufacture of true ormolu employs a process known as mercury-gilding or fire-gilding, in which a solution of nitrate of mercury is applied to a piece of copper, brass, or bronze, followed by the application of an amalgam of gold and mercury. The item was then exposed to extreme heat until the mercury burned off and the gold remained, adhered to the metal object.

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

Victorian display cabinets were produced during the nineteenth century to store and showcase items such as china, glass, and collectables. These pieces frequently feature glazed doors, timber veneers like burr walnut, and French-inspired decorative elements including cast ormolu mounts and marquetry.

Nineteenth-century cabinets were crafted using solid wood frames faced with decorative veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood. Additional decorative accents included hand-cut glass panels, cast brass or bronze ormolu mounts, and contrasting wood inlays.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces display signs of historical craftsmanship, such as hand-cut dovetail joints, unevenness in hand-poured glass, and natural oxidisation on metal fittings. The timber will show characteristic grain variation, patina, and age-appropriate wear around handles and keyholes.

A glazed cabinet can serve as a focal point in a dining room, living room, or hallway when paired with contemporary art or neutral wall finishes. The interior shelves can hold curated glass, books, or ceramic objects to balance traditional woodwork with modern minimalism.

Maintain walnut veneer by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish along the grain annually, avoiding harsh chemical sprays. Ormolu and brass fittings should be cleaned gently with a dry microfibre cloth to avoid stripping the aged patina or lacquer.
