Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Wood carvings depicting the Madonna and Child were central objects of private devotion and church iconography throughout Europe during the 18th century. These figures reflected regional woodcarving traditions and theological artistic conventions of the period.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as oak, walnut, lime, or fruitwoods depending on the region of origin. These dense timbers allowed for detailed work in drapery and facial features.

Authentic period pieces display distinct hand-tool marks, uneven wear patterns from handling, and age-related shrinkage cracks along the wood grain. The surface patina reflects natural oxidisation and wax accumulation in deep crevices.

Position the sculpture on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table as a focal point, pairing it with simple minimalist decor or contemporary ceramics to highlight its texture and historical silhouette.

Keep the carving away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and damp conditions to prevent wood movement and splitting. Dust gently with a soft brush and occasionally apply a clear microcrystalline wax.
