Are the doors supposed to stick?

Solid oak shifts with the seasons. It swells in damp air and shrinks when you turn the heating on. Slight sticking is normal. You can rub a wax candle along the door edges to ease the friction.

My grandmother left behind a large dining suite and the front panels are very dirty. How can you safely clean those deep geometric carvings?

Dust gathers quickly in those deep geometric recesses. Avoid modern chemical sprays. They degrade the old polish and leave a dull film. Use a soft bristle brush. A clean shoe brush works well to sweep out the crevices. Once a year, apply a thin coat of beeswax with a cloth and buff it out.

What does fumed oak mean?

Makers treated the raw wood with ammonia gas. The vapour reacts with tannins in the oak, turning the timber a deep brown. This process creates a colour that sits right through the surface layer. It became the standard finish for most antique Jacobean style sideboards.

When trying to arrange furniture in a smaller modern dining room, is it safe to unscrew and remove the heavy wooden backboard from the top?

Many revival sideboards feature a raised back gallery. This stops items sliding off. They usually unscrew easily from the back. Taking it off reduces the visual bulk.
