FAQs

The George II style, spanning from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by a transition from heavier walnut designs to lighter mahogany, featuring prominent cabriole legs, carved splat backs, and influences from early Palladian and Rococo aesthetics.

Cabinetmakers during this period predominantly utilised dense timbers such as walnut during the early decades, later shifting to mahogany, often incorporating drop-in seats upholstered in needlework, horsehair, or damask.

Authenticity is determined by examining traditional joinery methods such as hand-cut dovetails and tenons, timber ageing characteristics, patination, hand-carved details on the knees and splats, and original secondary woods like oak or pine.

These chairs function effectively as accent pieces when contrasted against minimalist contemporary dining tables or placed as occasional seating in a study to add historical depth and architectural interest.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber finish.
