FAQs

The William and Mary style, prevalent in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, is characterised by Dutch influences, geometric ornamentation, bun feet, and the use of marquetry and walnut veneers.

Pieces from this era typically utilized native timbers such as oak and pine as secondary woods, faced with expensive veneers like walnut. Hand-cut dovetails and brass drop handles mounted on escutcheons are standard construction markers.

Authentication relies on examining timber shrinkage, hand-cut joinery, old tool marks, the presence of original brass hardware, and the natural patina developed on the wood over centuries.

This piece can serve as a focal point in a contemporary living space or bedroom, contrasting cleanly against neutral walls to highlight the rich grain and warm tones of the timber.

Preservation requires keeping the furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, maintaining stable humidity levels, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax.
