FAQs

French provincial furniture from this period is characterised by regional interpretations of court styles, featuring local timbers such as oak or chestnut, robust proportions, and fluid serpentine lines.

Authentic pieces were constructed using solid timber frames, hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, panelled backs, and forged brass hardware secured with hand-made fixings.

Authentication relies on examining timber shrinkage, tool marks from hand planes, hand-cut joinery, correct fastener types, and natural patination consistent with age and usage.

Pairing the natural warmth of aged timber with clean architectural lines, neutral walls, and contemporary lighting creates a balanced scheme that highlights the historical texture of the piece.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, controlling indoor humidity, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber without sealing it.
