Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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 bureau bookcase is a dual-purpose storage and writing unit developed in the 18th century, featuring a slant-front bureau base with drawers topped by a vertical bookcase or display cabinet.

Mid-18th-century examples were primarily constructed using solid and veneered mahogany, featuring oak or pine secondary timbers, mirrored glass door panels, and cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-sawn secondary timber on the back panels, natural wood shrinkage around construction points, and original brass escutcheons showing slight patination.

Place the unit in a study or reception room as an architectural focal point, pairing the warm mahogany wood tone with modern neutral walls and understated decorative ceramics inside the upper cabinet.

Maintain stable humidity levels to avoid timber movement, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply a light coat of beeswax annually to protect the original finish.
