FAQs

Georgian furniture, spanning the reigns of the British monarchs from 1714 to 1830, is characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and a transition from heavy walnut to rich mahogany as the primary timber.

Authentic period pieces were typically constructed from solid timbers such as mahogany, oak, or pine for secondary framing, utilizing hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and solid brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, tool marks, original brass hardware or ghost marks from previous fittings, and the overall patina developed over centuries.

This piece can serve as a grounded anchor in contemporary spaces, providing a rich textural contrast against neutral walls and minimalist decor while offering functional storage.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to maintain the finish.
