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

Georgian serpentine front furniture is characterised by a subtle S shaped convex and concave curve across the facade, popularised in Britain during the mid-to-late eighteenth century. This architectural shaping required high levels of cabinet-making skill to execute in veneered timber.

Primary timbers included solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers, often paired with oak or pine secondary woods for drawer linings. Metalwork typically consisted of cast brass swan-neck handles and brass keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn secondary timber linings, and natural wood shrinkage along drawer bottoms or back panels. Original brassware usually shows oxidation and cast markings consistent with historical production methods.

A serpentine chest can serve as a focal point in a hallway, living area, or bedroom by pairing its curved silhouette with contemporary art, muted wall colours, and minimal modern lighting to create contrast.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Avoid positioning the piece near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight to prevent timber movement and fading.
