FAQs

Victorian furniture spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, encompassing various revival styles and industrial manufacturing advancements that favoured rich woods like walnut and mahogany, alongside elaborate craftsmanship.

These pieces typically feature solid secondary woods with fine veneer overlays such as figured walnut or mahogany, constructed using hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer boxes and traditional mortise and tenon framing.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate joinery techniques such as hand-cut dovetails, tool marks consistent with nineteenth-century manufacturing, original brass or bronze hardware, and natural ageing of the timber and finish.

An antique chest of drawers adds textural contrast and historical depth to contemporary spaces, functioning effectively as a storage statement piece in a bedroom, hallway, or living room.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent warping, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish.
