FAQs

The George II period, spanning from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by a transition from heavy walnut designs to more refined proportions, featuring the prominent use of cabriole legs, pad feet, and richly figured veneers like burr walnut.

These pieces typically utilised a soft wood carcase, such as pine or oak, overlaid with finely figured walnut veneers and cross-banding. Construction features often include hand-cut dovetails on the drawer carcasses and traditional mortise and tenon joints on the base stands.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the interior timbers for oxidisation and hand-tool marks, checking for period-correct brasses or filled-in previous handle holes, and observing the natural shrinkage and patination of the veneer over centuries.

This statement piece works effectively as a focal point in a living room, hallway, or bedroom against a neutral backdrop, allowing the rich grain and warm tones of the walnut to contrast with minimalist or modern decor.

Maintain antique walnut by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent the veneer from drying and cracking, and periodically apply a microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the polished surface.
