The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

William and Mary furniture, spanning approximately 1689 to 1702, is characterised by baroque influence, geometric panel mouldings, turned legs or bun feet, and teardrop brass handles. It marks a transition towards lighter, more refined case furniture compared to earlier Jacobean pieces.

Chests from this period were constructed using solid English oak with mortise and tenon joinery, heavy drawer linings, and mitred applied mouldings. Drawers were typically hand-dovetailed and supported on side-running grooves.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-hewn oak backboards, hand-cut dovetails, original turned bun feet, and characteristic geometric drawer fronts. Evidence of historical wear around keyholes and authentic brass tear-drop drop handles also indicate age.

A 17th-century oak chest serves as a functional focal point when contrasted against neutral contemporary walls, paired with modern table lamps, or integrated into an eclectic room scheme to add architectural texture.

Maintain historical oak by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sudden humidity fluctuations to prevent wood movement.
