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

The William & Mary style emerged in England during the late 17th century, heavily influenced by Dutch and French craftsmanship. It is characterised by slender proportions, decorative wood veneers such as burr walnut, teardrop brass handles, and intricate marquetry or feather banding.

Primary woods during this period were dominated by walnut, including figured burr walnut veneers laid over deal or pine frames. Secondary construction materials typically included native English oak for drawer linings and hand-cast brass for hardware.

Authentic pieces display heavy, hand-sawn drawer construction with crude, wide dovetail joints and solid oak drawer bottoms. Original hardware often leaves distinct wear marks or shadow lines, while period drawer runners show natural wood erosion consistent with centuries of use.

Place the piece against neutral, plaster, or muted dark walls to accentuate the rich tones of the wood grain. Incorporating contemporary lighting or minimalist wall art above the chest creates an engaging balance between historical texture and modern design.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cotton cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the item in a environment with stable humidity levels and avoid positioning it near radiator heat sources or direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting.
