How do I care for mahogany furniture?

Mahogany furniture requires protection from direct sunlight and sudden humidity changes to prevent the timber and veneers from drying out. Regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional application of appropriate wax maintains the natural lustre of the wood.

What distinguishes Edwardian suites from Victorian ones?

Edwardian suites generally exhibit lighter proportions, brighter wood tones and influences from earlier Georgian revival styles. Victorian suites tend to feature heavier frames, deeper carving, darker timber and buttoned leather or heavy fabric upholstery.

Can I use dining suites every day?

Antique dining suites are constructed from dense tropical hardwoods built for sturdy, long-term functional use. Routine daily use is suitable provided the joints remain firm and the seating webbing and upholstery are kept in sound condition.
