FAQs

Georgian furniture style, spanning the reigns of George I to George IV, is characterised by classical proportions, refined ornamentation, and a heavy reliance on imported dense timbers like mahogany following the lifting of trade restrictions.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid, dense hardwoods using traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved details, and upholstered drop-in or webbed seat pads.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural timber oxidisation, hand-cut joinery marks, historical wear patterns consistent with age, and dense, patinated grain rather than uniform machine-tooled surfaces.

Pairing historical timber seating with contemporary minimalist architecture or contrasting textiles creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the craftsmanship of the period.

Maintain antique timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, feeding the wood periodically with traditional beeswax, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
