FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the mid-19th century as a reaction against machine-produced items, prioritising handcraftsmanship, traditional construction methods, and medieval or folk motifs.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from native hardwoods such as solid oak, chosen for its durability, dense grain capacity for carving, and rich colour.

Authenticity is determined by examining joint construction methods such as mortise and tenon joints, tool marks indicating hand-carving, timber shrinkage patterns, and the natural oxidisation of the wood over time.

These functional objects provide architectural contrast in contemporary hallways or living spaces when paired with minimalist surroundings to highlight their historic craftsmanship.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood surface.
