FAQs

The Queen Anne style, prominent in the early 18th century, is characterised by curved lines, restraint in ornamentation, and a focus on the natural grain of timbers such as walnut.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid timbers like oak or pine, veneered with figured walnut, and assembled using traditional dovetail joints and brass hardware.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the secondary woods, hand-cut dovetailing, patination of the timber, and the style of the brass hinges and escutcheons.

A writing slope can be placed on a console table or modern desk to add textural warmth, historical contrast, and practical storage for stationery.

Maintain walnut pieces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the wood finish.
