FAQs

Victorian furniture encompasses a diverse range of revival styles produced during the reign of Queen Victoria, frequently featuring rich timbers like walnut and mahogany, elaborate ornamentation, and skilled craftsmanship.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid timber frames with figured veneers, such as walnut, accented with cast brass or ormolu mounts, marble tops, and traditional dovetailed joints.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-chased ormolu mounts with naturalistic patination, and timber shrinkage and oxidisation consistent with nineteenth-century manufacturing.

Pairing historical timber furniture with contemporary minimalist surroundings creates a balanced interior, allowing the rich grain and metallic accents to serve as focal points.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber.
