FAQs

Dating from the 18th century during the reigns of Kings George I through IV, linen presses were crafted to store freshly laundered textiles flat before the widespread use of hanging wardrobes. They typically feature an upper section with sliding trays and a lower chest of drawers.

These pieces are predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or pine carcasses veneered with figured mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and pegged mortise and tenon joinery on the frame.

Authenticity is verified by examining the interior timbers for secondary woods like oak or pine, checking for hand-beveled drawer linings, irregular dovetails, and period-correct brass hardware fittings.

Pair the rich wood tones with neutral walls and minimalist contemporary decor to let the historical craftsmanship stand out as a functional statement piece in a bedroom or dressing room.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and nourish the wood periodically using traditional beeswax.
