FAQs

The George II style, spanning from the second quarter to the mid-18th century in Britain, is characterised by architectural proportions, the transition from walnut to mahogany as the primary timber, and the adoption of early rococo influences.

These pieces were typically constructed using a supportive softwood or oak secondary timber, faced with decorativeveneers such as figured walnut or burr walnut, and fitted with cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, timber shrinkage consistent with age, hand-carved elements, and old secondary woods rather than modern plywood or blockboard.

An antique wooden bureau can serve as a functional workstation in a contemporary home office or living room, providing warm textural contrast against minimalist walls and neutral colour palettes.

Preservation involves keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, and applying periodic coats of natural beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
