FAQs

Edwardian furniture, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, often looked back to earlier periods like Sheraton, Chippendale, and Hepplewhite for inspiration, resulting in lighter, more graceful proportions compared to heavy Victorian designs.

Cabinet makers of this era predominantly used fine timbers such as mahogany, satinwood, and walnut, frequently incorporating inset leather writing surfaces and cast brass or bronze hardware.

Authentic pieces can be identified by traditional construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawer construction, the use of solid secondary timbers on unexposed parts, and appropriate wear patterns and patina on the wood and hardware.

An antique desk can serve as a focal point in a contemporary study or living room by pairing it with a minimalist modern chair to create a striking contrast between old and new design elements.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and clean it periodically using a soft, dry cloth and high-quality beeswax rather than silicone-based polishes.
