FAQs

Early 18th-century furniture, spanning the Queen Anne and early George I periods, is characterised by a shift away from heavy ornamentation towards elegant, curved lines, most notably the use of the cabriole leg and pad or hoof feet, with walnut superseding oak as the primary timber of choice.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid walnut or pine frames veneered with figured walnut, often enhanced by intricate marquetry or seaweed marquetry inlay using exotic woods, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery and hand-cut dovetails.

Authenticity is determined by examining the patination of the timber, the construction of the frame underneath the upholstery, hand-carved details, and period-appropriate secondary woods such as oak or pine used in internal framing.

An antique side chair works effectively as a statement piece in a contemporary setting, providing textural contrast when placed against minimalist walls or paired with a sleek, modern desk or dining table.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood and veneer from drying out or splitting, applying traditional beeswax periodically, and protecting antique textiles from excessive friction and moisture.
