FAQs

The George III style, spanning from 1760 to 1820, is characterised by refined classical proportions, a shift towards lighter woods like mahogany, and influences from neoclassical designers such as Robert Adam and Thomas Chippendale.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense tropical hardwoods like Cuban mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, solid secondary timbers like oak or pine for drawer linings, and hand-tooled leather writing surfaces.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction hallmarks such as hand-cut dovetailing, traditional timber shrinkage, original brass hardware and castors, and the natural patination and oxidisation of the wood over centuries.

Pairing this traditional foundational piece with modern minimalist seating, contemporary abstract art, or neutral tones creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the rich grain and history of the wood.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, feeding the timber periodically with traditional beeswax, and cleaning inset leather surfaces with a dry or barely damp cloth without harsh chemical cleaners.
