FAQs

The Georgian era encompasses the reigns of the first four Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, sophisticated craftsmanship, and the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber.

Master cabinetmakers predominantly utilised imported Cuban or Honduras mahogany for its strength and rich grain, often combining it with traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-cut joinery, patination consistent with age, traditional hand-carved details, and structural timbers appropriate to the late 18th century rather than modern machine-made fasteners.

Pairing historical timber seating with a minimalist or modern glass dining table creates a striking contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the antique chairs while maintaining a balanced, uncluttered space.

Maintain timber condition by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive heat fluctuations, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and cleaning gently with a soft, dry cloth without harsh chemical polishes.
