Dealers Notes

I have been established as a dealer and antique furniture restorer for almost 20 years.

I have a real love and passion of fine 18th and early 19th century furniture.

As a professional restorer I am always searching for the finest quality and original items but should any restoration be nessesary it will be sympathetically and skilfully carried out in house by myself.

If items are purchased with buy now option I shall do my very best to work with my courier to offer free delivery within most of UK mainland. (Some exclusions to locations may apply)

It has been noted that the system is rounding up measurements added in cm to the next nearest inch so if dimensions are critical for a particular space please work by the cm size listed of please ask.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a George III dressing chest is a specialised form of chest of drawers incorporating a fitted top drawer with vanity compartments and an adjustable mirror.

These pieces were constructed using solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers, complemented by exotic timber crossbanding such as tulipwood or satinwood, featuring hand-cut dovetail joinery and cast brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn oak or pine drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, period brass handles, and natural age-related patination inside the fitted compartments.

Position the piece in a principal bedroom, guest room, or hallway as functional storage, paired with modern artwork or contemporary lighting to create a balanced scheme.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth, applying a neutral beeswax polish annually along the grain, and avoiding placement near direct heat sources to preserve the veneers.
