Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

Cabinetry influenced by Giles Grendey and 18th-century English makers often features architectural proportions, finely figurative mahogany veneers, broken pediments, and intricate astragal glazing patterns. These pieces balanced functional storage with classical architectural elements suited for stately residences.

Eighteenth-century cabinets were primarily constructed using Cuban or West Indian mahogany, valued for its density and flame grain. Master cabinetmakers employed hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, brass hardware, and hand-blown glass panels fitted into carved wooden tracery.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display signs of hand construction, including irregular tool marks, hand-sawn carcass timbers, and period-correct oak secondary woods. Original glass often shows subtle air bubbles or distortions, while timber surfaces demonstrate natural oxidisation and shrinkage aligned with age.

A large mahogany display cabinet functions well as a focal point in a dining room, library, or drawing room. Interior designers contrast the dark mahogany timber against contemporary neutral walls, utilizing the glazed upper section to display collections of ceramics, framed objects, or books.

Preserve antique mahogany by maintaining a stable indoor humidity level and keeping timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Clean surfaces with a soft, dry cotton cloth and apply beeswax periodically to maintain the original finish and patina.
