How do I identify a Georgian bureau?

Georgian bureau desks typically feature mahogany construction, bracket feet, and brass drawer pulls, dating from the eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Inside the fall front, the layout often includes small pigeonholes, secret compartments, and central cupboard doors.

What is Dutch marquetry?

Dutch marquetry involves elaborate floral and pictorial inlay work utilising contrasting timbers across walnut or fruitwood surfaces. Pieces featuring this style often display bombé curves or block fronts dating around eighteen hundred.

How do I care for antique veneer?

Antique veneer requires consistent indoor humidity levels and protection from direct sunlight to prevent lifting and drying out. Applying microcrystalline wax periodically helps maintain the finish without harming the historic wood.
