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

Eighteenth-century Dutch furniture from the Baroque and Rococo periods is distinguished by shaped or bombe silhouettes, elaborate grain patterns from burr veneers, and detailed brass hardware. Craftsmen emphasised proportion, storage capacity, and decorative timber figuring.

These chests were typically constructed with an oak or pine carcass overlaid with thin cuts of figured burr walnut veneer. Secondary woods like oak were used for drawer linings, while cast brass was employed for handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature thick, hand-sawn veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints, and pine or oak drawer bottoms with natural shrinkage gaps. Metal fittings should show signs of authentic oxidisation and casting imperfections on the reverse side.

A dark timber chest functions well as a focal piece when placed against light walls in an entryway, dining room, or bedroom. Juxtaposing the curved silhouette with contemporary artwork or minimal ceramic decor creates a balanced, layered visual scheme.

Dust regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting, cracking, or fading.
