How do I clean walnut furniture?

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent accumulation. Avoid commercial silicone sprays that damage historic finishes. Apply a microcrystalline wax sparingly when the timber appears dry, buffing gently to maintain a natural sheen.

Are these cabinets suitable for books?

Display cabinets and bookcases with glass doors protect volumes from dust while maintaining visibility. Check shelf depth and weight capacity before loading heavy bindings. Ensure the room maintains stable humidity to protect both paper and antique timber.

Where should I place a mirror?

Position wall mirrors opposite windows to reflect natural light and brighten darker reception rooms. Ensure proper wall fixings support the weight of heavy timber frames. Cheval mirrors require stable floor placement in bedrooms or dressing areas for safe daily use.

How do I date an item?

Examine construction methods, hardware types, and secondary timbers to establish a period baseline. Stylistic cues such as Art Deco geometric lines or Victorian marquetry offer reliable indicators. Consult maker marks, labels, or stamps when present on the reverse or interior framework.
