Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

FAQs

The William IV style, spanning roughly from 1830 to 1837, bridges late Regency and early Victorian aesthetics, characterised by robust proportions, classical influences, and a heavy reliance on richly figured exotic timbers.

Cabinet makers of this era predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and goncalo alves, often featuring high-gloss French polished finishes and brass castors.

Authenticity is determined by examining traditional joinery methods, timber ageing, original mechanical extension systems, makers stamps where applicable, and the characteristic heavy turned or carved legs.

Pairing a substantial period table with modern minimalist seating or contrasting textures helps ground a contemporary dining space while highlighting the historical craftsmanship.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading, and clean surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth without harsh chemical polishes.
