Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

The George I style, spanning the early eighteenth century, is characterised by graceful curves, the widespread adoption of walnut, and refined leg designs such as the cabriole leg. Pieces frequently incorporate carved shell ornament, shaped seat rails, and claw-and-ball feet.

Authentic George I pieces were typically constructed from solid walnut or walnut veneers over an oak or pine groundwork. Seats were upholstered in durable fabrics such as wool needlepoint, damask, or silk velvet, attached over webbed wooden frames.

Look for signs of age-appropriate patination, hand-carved details with minor irregularities, and period joinery such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints. Original examples often display walnut veneer applied over a secondary timber core.

Place a low upholstered stool at the foot of a bed, beneath a console table, or alongside a reading armchair. Its classic wood carving and soft textile contrast effectively with modern neutral upholstery and clean architectural lines.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax twice yearly to protect the finish. Vacuum the upholstered cushion on a gentle setting and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
