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

Collector cabinets, or cabinets of curiosities, originated in the Renaissance as a way for scholars and naturalists to organise and display specimens, medals, and antiquities before evolving into functional institutional furniture by the 19th and 20th centuries.

These pieces typically combine robust secondary framing timbers like oak with fine hardwood drawer fronts such as mahogany, constructed using traditional dovetail joints and fielded panels to ensure stability and protection for delicate specimens.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut or early machine-cut dovetailing, solid timber construction, period-appropriate brass hardware such as drop handles and card holders, and natural patina consistent with age and use.

A large multi-drawer cabinet serves as a striking focal point in a study or living space, providing substantial storage while grounding the room with rich timber tones and functional historical character.

Maintain wood furniture by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the surface, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
