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

Originating in the 18th century, a Georgian dresser base is a low, horizontal storage cabinet traditionally constructed from native hardwoods and designed to store tableware or assist in serving food.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid timber such as oak, elm, walnut, or pine, using traditional joinery methods including mortise and tenon joints, hand-cut dovetails, and cast brass drop handles.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-planed surfaces, irregular drawer construction, original timber shrinkage along grain lines, peg construction, and natural oxidisation around the original iron or brass fittings.

Position the piece in an entryway or dining area, using the tabletop to display framed artwork or ceramic vessels, while placing woven storage baskets along the lower potboard shelf.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry cloth and apply clear beeswax polish once or twice per year to nourish the timber, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity.
