FAQs

Burr walnut became highly fashionable during the Victorian era, particularly in the mid to late 19th century, prized by cabinet makers for its intricate, swirling grain patterns achieved by harvesting the growth warts of walnut trees.

These pieces typically feature fine burr walnut veneers applied over a secondary carcass wood such as pine or oak, often constructed with hand-cut dovetails, brass hardware, and traditionally bevelled mirror glass.

Authenticity is identified through construction hallmarks such as hand-planed secondary woods, shrinkage cracks in the veneer, traditional dovetailing on internal drawers, and hand-cut screws or fixings.

A large antique wooden piece adds warmth and texture to a modern bedroom or dressing room, contrasting effectively against minimalist white walls and neutral textiles.

Maintain burr walnut by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, avoiding excessive moisture or heat fluctuations, and periodically nourishing the wood with high-quality beeswax.
