FAQs

The Hepplewhite style, popular in the late 18th century, is characterised by elegant proportions, contrasting veneers, and delicate carved details such as shield or square backs with tapered legs.

Cabinet makers predominantly used solid timbers like Cuban and Honduras mahogany, often featuring traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, alongside upholstered drop-in seats.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-cut joinery, timber shrinkage, patination consistent with age, tool marks from hand planes, and the absence of modern machine fastenings.

Pairing dark wood antique chairs with a minimalist modern dining table creates a striking contrast that anchors the room while highlighting the craftsmanship of the vintage pieces.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying pure beeswax to nourish the wood finish.
