FAQs

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the first four Georges, characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the predominant timber.

Pieces from this era typically feature solid timber construction, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, and secondary woods such as pine or oak for drawer linings and carcases.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-sawn timber marks, irregular dovetails, period-appropriate brass hardware, and the natural oxidisation and wear patterns associated with age.

Placing a historical wood piece within a contemporary space adds tactile warmth, texture, and structural contrast, serving as a functional focal point.

Maintenance requires stable indoor humidity levels, avoidance of direct sunlight, and occasional treatment with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicon polishes.
