What is the difference between a sideboard and a buffet?

A sideboard is generally a longer, lower piece designed primarily for dining room storage and serving, whilst a buffet often incorporates tiered shelving or additional upper display space. Historically, the terms overlap depending on the period and the regional workshop that produced the item.

How do I care for an antique oak or mahogany sideboard?

Keep timber furniture away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent the wood from drying out or splitting. Apply natural beeswax periodically to maintain the lustre and protect the surface finish. Avoid using modern silicone-based polishes, which can build up and dull the natural patina over time.

Can I use a marble top washstand in a modern bathroom?

Marble top washstands work wonderfully as vanity units or hallway storage pieces, provided the timber is protected from standing water. Many buyers adapt these pieces while retaining the original marble surface and ceramic fixtures. Ensure any plumbing modifications are carried out carefully to preserve the structural integrity of the antique cabinet.

How can I tell a Georgian piece from a Victorian one?

Georgian furniture generally displays cleaner, more restrained classical lines with an emphasis on figured mahogany or oak timbers and subtle brass hardware. Victorian pieces often feature heavier proportions, more exuberant carved ornamentation, and darker finishes. Examining the construction methods inside the drawers and the style of the handles will also help clarify the period.
