FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement originated in the late 19th century, emphasising traditional craftsmanship, simple forms, and the natural qualities of materials like solid oak without excessive ornamentation.

Pieces from this era were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as English oak, utilising traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon, hand-cut dovetails for drawers, and minimal metal fixings.

Authenticity is identified by examining the timber grain, tool marks indicating hand-working, period-appropriate drawer construction with hand-cut joints, and maker marks or stamps where applicable.

An antique wooden desk adds warmth and character to contemporary spaces when paired with minimalist seating, modern lighting, and neutral backgrounds that allow the natural grain of the wood to stand out.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent splitting, occasionally treating the surface with a quality beeswax, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
