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

18th-century Bavarian furniture from the Baroque and Rococo periods often incorporates heavy architectural mouldings, serpentine or bombe drawer fronts, and figured wood veneers. Pieces were typically constructed from indigenous woods such as walnut or fruitwood, featuring robust proportions and turned bun feet.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid softwood or oak for the internal carcase, overlaid with figured walnut or fruitwood veneers. Decorative hardware was generally made from hand-cast brass or iron, while drawers were assembled using hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic pieces display signs of period construction, including hand-sawn timber marks, irregular hand-cut dovetails, and original oak or pine drawer linings. The hardware should show natural age-related oxidisation, and the secondary woods should show shrinkage consistent with two centuries of aging.

A Baroque chest functions as a focal piece in entryways, living rooms, or bedrooms, providing functional storage alongside historical character. Placing contemporary artwork or minimalist lighting above the chest creates a balanced contrast between period craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain a stable relative humidity to prevent the timber from expanding or shrinking, which causes veneers to lift. Dust regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to protect the original finish.
