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

A chest on stand, also known as a highboy, is a two-part storage unit developed during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It consists of an upper chest of drawers resting upon a low table-like base with turned legs and decorative aprons.

Pieces from this era were primarily constructed using solid English oak or walnut. Drawers feature hand-cut dovetail joints, thick oak linings, brass drop handles, and decorative backplates, often supported by turned legs joined by stretchers.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-planing, irregular dovetail joints, period-correct brass hardware, naturally aged patina, and iron nails or wooden pegs in the carcass construction.

An oak chest on stand creates visual balance when paired with minimalist contemporary walls, contrasting metallic light fixtures, or integrated into a traditional hallway or bedroom layout.

Clean surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity to prevent wood movement and cracking.
