The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

George II furniture, dating from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by the use of figured walnut veneers, balanced proportions, and understated brass hardware. Pieces from this era frequently feature bracket feet, herringbone crossbanding, and graduated drawer arrangements.

18th-century cabinetmakers used solid walnut or walnut veneers over softwoods such as pine or deal for the primary carcase. Secondary timbers like oak or pine were employed for drawer linings, complemented by cast brass swan-neck handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-sawn veneers, and irregular wear consistent with age. Drawer linings often feature timber shrinkage gaps and hand-planed secondary woods along with historical hardware fitting marks.

A dark walnut chest of drawers acts as an anchor piece against neutral wall tones or textured plaster finishes. Positioning artwork above the chest or pairing it with modern lighting creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Apply high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and preserve the patina. Avoid placing walnut furniture near central heating radiators or direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting and timber shrinkage.
