FAQs

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the first four Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber.

Cabinet makers predominantly used solid mahogany and pine for secondary woods, incorporating hand-blown cylinder glass for doors and brass for handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, traditional timber shrinkage, historical tool marks, and old-growth mahogany grain patterns without modern veneers.

Pairing dark wood period furniture with neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and curated collections of books creates a balanced focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern living.

Maintain stable relative humidity and consistent indoor temperatures away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the wood finish.
