FAQs

Georgian furniture is characterised by classical proportions, sophisticated craftsmanship, and the predominant use of imported mahogany, moving away from heavy oak towards lighter, more elegant forms influenced by architects and designers of the period.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid Cuban or Honduran mahogany, utilising traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon frames, hand-carved details, and drop-in upholstered seats secured with handmade webbing.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural patina, hand-cut secondary timbers in the frame construction, tool marks consistent with period hand-working methods, and structural wear appropriate for centuries of use rather than artificial distressing.

Pairing period wooden chairs with a minimalist modern dining table creates a striking juxtaposition that highlights the historical craftsmanship while keeping the overall room scheme balanced and uncluttered.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and avoiding silicone-based polishes that can degrade the historic finish.
