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

Victorian burr walnut furniture is characterised by the use of figure-rich wood cut from tree excrescences, exhibiting complex swirling grain patterns. Popular during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, these pieces often feature elaborate turnings, geometric inlay work, and distinctive shaped edges.

These tables were built using a solid hardwood framework covered with burr walnut veneers. Tops were constructed with geometric panel inlays or perimeter stringing, supported by turned central pedestals, barley twist outer legs, and carved quadform bases.

Authentic pieces display traditional joinery such as mortise-and-tenon construction, natural age patination, and subtle variations in veneer thickness. The underside of the wood typically shows historical saw marks, hand-planing, and natural timber shrinkage along joints.

A low octagonal table functions as a central coffee table placed within contemporary seating arrangements. The rich timber tones create visual balance when paired with neutral linen upholstery, structured rugs, and modern ceramics.

Dust the wood regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, radiators, and strong humidity fluctuations to prevent veneer drying or movement.
