How do I assemble a four poster bed?

Assembly requires connecting the heavy headboard, footboard, and side rails using traditional bolt fixings before hoisting the overhead tester into position atop the upright posts. Due to the substantial weight of the timber components, two or more people are necessary to ensure the frame remains square and secure during construction.

Will a standard mattress fit an antique bed?

Many historical beds predate modern standard sizing conventions, meaning older frames often vary by a few inches in length or width compared to contemporary mattresses. Buyers should measure the interior wooden rails precisely to determine if a standard modern mattress fits or if a custom-made foundation is required.

How do I clean mahogany furniture?

Regular maintenance involves dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent particulate buildup on the carved surfaces and polished timber grain. Avoid using silicone-based polishes or excessive moisture, applying traditional wax sparingly only when the wood appears dry.

What is the difference between Georgian and Victorian styles?

Georgian design generally emphasises restrained classical proportions, lighter carved ornamentation, and balanced symmetrical lines derived from architectural manuals. Victorian pieces typically display heavier proportions, more exuberant and dense carving, and bolder interpretations of historical revival aesthetics.
