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

A secretaire cabinet is a tall piece of case furniture featuring a pull-out or drop-down desk surface concealed within a cabinet body. Popular throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, it typically combines writing space with storage drawers below and a glazed or wooden cupboard above.

19th-century secretaires were frequently crafted from hardwoods such as cherry, pear, or applewood, prized for their close grain and warm tone. Internal drawers often featured secondary woods like pine or oak, fitted with hand-cast brass handles, keyhole escutcheons, and original glass panes.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer construction, hand-planed back panels, and historical wear around the keyholes and writing surface. Fruitwood surfaces typically exhibit a natural patination and slight colour variation developed over decades of exposure to light.

Position the cabinet against a neutral or dark backdrop to highlight the warm wood grain and silhouetted frame. Display minimal ceramic vessels or curated books behind the glazed doors, leaving the writing flap closed when not in use to maintain clean architectural lines.

Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the timber from warping or splitting. Apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year with a soft cloth, buffing along the direction of the grain to maintain the wood surface.
