FAQs

This style emphasises hand-crafted quality, simple forms, and traditional construction methods, often drawing inspiration from medieval and organic designs.

Pieces from this period were typically crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, often featuring hand-turned components and traditional joinery.

Authenticity is usually identified through timber patination, traditional tool marks, hand-cut joinery, and consistency with period manufacturing techniques rather than modern mechanical fastenings.

Balance the traditional dark wood tones by pairing the unit with neutral wall colours, curated collections of books, and minimalist decorative objects to create a sophisticated focal point.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the wood.
