FAQs

Georgian chests of drawers from the 18th century are defined by balanced proportions, dense cuban or honduran mahogany timber, and classical influences such as Chippendale blind fretwork and swan-neck brass handles.

Primary surfaces were constructed using solid mahogany or rich veneers, while secondary timbers inside the drawers typically comprised oak or pine with hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-planed drawer linings, natural wood shrinkage along grain lines, hand-cast brass hardware, and distinct oxidisation marks on internal drawer bottoms.

A Georgian chest of drawers serves as functional storage in living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms, contrasting effectively alongside contemporary artwork and modern lighting fixtures.

Maintain mahogany by applying a quality beeswax paste twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct radiator heat sources, and maintaining steady relative humidity.
