FAQs

The William and Mary style, prevalent in late seventeenth-century England, is characterised by Dutch influences, sophisticated marquetry, oyster veneers, and structured architectural proportions.

These pieces typically utilized native oak or pine as a secondary wood, faced with luxury veneers like walnut, boxwood, and holly, assembled with hand-cut dovetails and pegged joints.

Authentic items feature period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, original brass drop handles with escutcheons, natural timber oxidisation, and meticulous hand-cut marquetry or seaweed inlay.

Pair the heavily patterned wooden surface with minimalist, neutral surroundings to let the intricate craftsmanship act as a focal point without overwhelming the space.

Maintain stable humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the historic timber without damaging the delicate inlay.
