FAQs

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the British Kings George I through IV, characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber used by master cabinetmakers.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and solid brass hardware.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage consistent with age, original backboards, period brasses or appropriate ghost marks, and hand-planed drawer bottoms.

Pairing a period wooden chest with contemporary minimalist decor, neutral walls, and modern abstract art creates a balanced interior that highlights the rich grain and historical texture of the wood.

Preserve antique mahogany by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, maintaining stable indoor humidity, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
