FAQs

Seventeenth-century furniture, spanning the Jacobean and Caroline periods, is characterised by solid construction, rectangular forms, geometric mouldings, and the prominent use of native English oak often accented with exotic woods.

Pieces from this era were traditionally constructed from quartersawn oak, joined using mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pins. Drawer construction typically featured hand-cut dovetails, while decorative surfaces utilised applied geometric mouldings made from contrasting woods such as ebony.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, hand-split timber grain, pegged joints, and historic shrinkage cracks in the wood. Hardware, such as drop handles and lock plates, should be consistent with seventeenth-century manufacturing techniques.

Pairing heavy historic furniture with minimalist walls and contemporary lighting creates a balanced contrast. Placing the piece in a neutral-toned room allows the rich grain and geometric details to serve as a focal point.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels and keep timber away from direct heat sources to prevent wood splitting. Periodically apply microcrystalline wax to nourish the surface without attracting dust or altering the historic patina.
