FAQs

Seventeenth-century chests of drawers, often dating from the Jacobean and Carolean eras, are recognised by their sturdy joinery, geometric panel mouldings, turned bun or ball feet, and brass drop handles or brass escutcheons.

Oak was the primary timber used in British furniture construction during this era, though fragrant cedar wood, walnut, and pine were also utilised for main frames, drawer linings, and decorative panelling.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, pegged mortise and tenon joints, drawers that slide on side runners fitted into carcass grooves, and heavy, thick panel construction.

A dark or mid-toned timber chest serves as a grounding focal point in a contemporary hallway, study, or bedroom when positioned against neutral, unadorned walls.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly with a soft cloth along the wood grain, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and avoiding synthetic chemical sprays.
