FAQs

Seventeenth-century English furniture is characterised by solid timber construction, particularly oak, featuring heavy proportions, geometric mouldings, and utilitarian forms that evolved significantly during the Stuart and Jacobean periods.

These pieces were typically constructed from native English oak using traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-split panels, and wooden pegged construction, often featuring brass drop handles and escutcheons added during later restorations.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-tool marks, timber shrinkage patterns, original iron or brass fixings, signs of hand-planing on drawer linings, and the natural oxidisation and patina accumulated over centuries.

Placing a historical timber piece against a neutral or minimally styled backdrop creates a striking focal point, grounding contemporary living spaces with texture, warmth, and historical depth.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, occasionally treating the timber with traditional beeswax to nourish the wood without sealing the surface.
