FAQs

The Georgian style encompasses furniture produced during the reigns of George I through George IV (1714-1830), characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and an evolution from heavy walnut to lighter mahogany and exotic veneers.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid secondary timbers like oak or pine with figured walnut or mahogany veneers on the exterior. Construction relied heavily on hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction and traditional mortise and tenon frames.

Authentication involves examining the drawer construction for hand-cut dovetails, checking the timber patination for natural oxidisation, and inspecting the brass hardware to determine if the escutcheons and handles are original or later replacements.

Pairing a historical desk with modern, minimalist seating creates a striking juxtaposition. Keeping the surface uncluttered with just a contemporary desk lamp allows the rich grain and traditional craftsmanship to stand out as a focal point.

Maintain antique wooden surfaces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood and veneer from drying out and cracking. Apply traditional beeswax periodically to nourish the grain and protect the historical patination.
