Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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

A Continental casket from the late 17th century is a decorated wooden storage box produced in mainland Europe, designed to secure personal valuables, documents, or jewellery.

Cabinetmakers during this period typically utilised native hardwoods such as walnut or oak, accented with burr wood veneers, fruitwood marquetry inlays, and hand-forged iron mounts.

Authentic period caskets display historical joinery techniques such as hand-cut dovetails or wooden pegs, age-related oxidation on iron fittings, and irregular interior surfaces.

An antique casket functions well as a focal decorative object on a sideboard, console table, or desk, providing historical contrast alongside contemporary elements.

Preserve the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and applying beeswax sparingly.
