The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Georgian furniture design, spanning from 1714 to 1830, is defined by symmetrical proportions, classic architectural influences, and the prominent use of hardwoods such as walnut and mahogany. Key features include carved bracket feet, brass swan-neck handles, and functional elements like brushing slides.

Cabinetmakers during the 18th century primarily utilised walnut, oak, and mahogany for exterior surfaces, often over secondary woods like pine or oak for internal drawer linings. Hardware was typically cast from solid brass, including backplates, keyhole escutcheons, and handles.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular hand-sawn back panels, and natural wood shrinkage consistent with age. Look for genuine oxidisation on interior surfaces, period-correct brass drop handles, and hand-planed drawer bases.

A Georgian chest of drawers serves as a functional focal point in modern entryways, living areas, or bedrooms. Pairing dark wood patina with contemporary artwork, minimalist lamps, or neutral walls creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern design.

To preserve antique walnut, apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year using a soft cotton cloth. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, drying, or fading of the natural finish.
