How do I know if the timber is old?

Authentic period timber displays deep patination, tool marks from hand planing, and surface wear consistent with centuries of handling. The grain patterns in older oak, walnut and pine feel dry and dense rather than freshly milled. Examine the edges of the wood and the joinery for hand cut pegs, subtle warping, and signs of traditional construction methods used before industrial machinery.

Can I hang these heavy doors on modern walls?

Hanging these solid wood panels requires careful assessment of the door weight and the wall structure behind it. Carpenters usually mount them securely to internal timber studs or use masonry anchors for brick walls. Because antique hardwoods are significantly heavier than modern manufactured board, robust hinges and structural battens are essential for safe installation.

How do I clean and care for old wood?

Maintain the surface by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth and occasionally applying a quality beeswax to nourish the dry timber. Avoid using wet cloths, harsh chemical sprays, or silicone polishes that can degrade historical finishes and trap moisture. Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and dramatic humidity fluctuations to prevent the ancient panels from splitting or warping.
