FAQs

Georgian chests of drawers, produced between 1714 and 1830, are characterised by symmetrical proportions, hand-cut dovetail joinery, bracket feet, and the prominent use of solid or veneered mahogany.

Craftsmen primarily utilised Cuban or West Indian mahogany for the exterior, secondary timbers like pine or oak for drawer linings, hand-cut dovetails, and cast brass hardware such as swan-neck handles.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-sawn drawer bottoms, hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass backplates with threaded posts and square nuts, and natural timber shrinkage or oxidisation inside the carcass.

A mahogany chest functions effectively as a focal piece in an entryway, a bedside cabinet in a master suite, or paired with contemporary art and minimalist lighting to create visual contrast.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax every six to twelve months, while keeping the piece away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme fluctuations in humidity.
