FAQs

Seventeenth-century furniture is characterised by solid timber construction, notably oak, featuring hand-carved details, panelled joinery, and robust proportions reflective of the craftsmanship of the period.

These pieces were constructed primarily from native English oak, often incorporating secondary woods such as elm or pine for drawer linings and backs, assembled with traditional pegged mortise and tenon joints.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, timber shrinkage, period-appropriate tool marks, historical patina, and original or historically consistent hardware without modern fasteners.

Placing a historical timber piece against a neutral backdrop creates a focal point, allowing its natural grain and texture to contrast effectively with modern minimalist decor.

Maintenance requires keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying occasional microcrystalline wax to nourish the grain, and dusting with a dry cloth.
