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.

FAQs

A secretaire tallboy, also known as a chest-on-chest with a writing drawer, is an 18th-century furniture form combining vertical drawer storage with a pull-out or drop-front fitted writing desk surface.

These pieces were primarily constructed using solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers, featuring oak or pine drawer linings, brass hardware, and occasionally leather writing inserts.

Authentic Georgian examples display hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, original cast brass handles or escutcheons, hand-planed back panels, and period-correct features such as ogee bracket feet or fluted canted corners.

Position the piece as an anchor in a study, hallway, or bedroom, pairing dark timber tones with neutral walls, contemporary artwork, or tailored upholstery to balance classic proportions.

Keep the cabinet positioned away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain annually.
