FAQs

Victorian furniture spans the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901), encompassing various revival movements including Gothic, Elizabethan, and Rococo, typically characterised by substantial proportions, dark woods, and ornate craftsmanship.

Cabinet makers predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and rosewood, frequently incorporating secondary timbers like pine or oak for internal framing and drawer construction, alongside hand-blown crown glass for doors.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints in drawers, patination on the timber, original brass hardware, subtle irregularities in antique glass panes, and traditional veneer application techniques.

Pairing dark timber pieces with neutral, light-reflective walls and minimalist contemporary furnishings creates a balanced contrast that highlights the rich grain and historical character of the furniture without overwhelming the space.

Maintain timber health by placing pieces away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping or cracking, applying traditional beeswax periodically, and avoiding chemical polishes that can degrade the original French polish finish.
