FAQs

The George III period, spanning from 1760 to 1820, is characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and influences from notable designers such as Thomas Chippendale and George Hepplewhite.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid mahogany or feature flame mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, utilizing traditional hand-cut dovetails and pegged joinery.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hand-blown window glass with natural imperfections, period-appropriate brass hardware, hand-cut drawer dovetails, and signs of age-related patina and oxidisation.

Pairing this traditional piece with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast, allowing the rich wood grain and classic proportions to serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and apply occasional applications of traditional beeswax to nourish the finish.
