How do I clean the glass panels?

Use a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner applied directly to the cloth rather than the wood. This prevents moisture from damaging the surrounding mahogany or satinwood inlay. Take care around delicate glazing bars and antique putty which can loosen over decades of handling.

Are these pieces stable on uneven floors?

Most standing corner cupboards possess sufficient weight to remain steady against walls, but older floors can cause slight rocking. Small wooden shims hidden beneath the base moulding provide a discreet level fix. Ensuring the piece sits plumb prevents distortion in the door hinges and keeps glazed panels closing true.

Can I polish the mahogany finish safely?

Apply a traditional beeswax polish sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently along the grain. Avoid modern silicone sprays which build up and attract dust over time. Regular light waxing feeds the dry timber and maintains the natural lustre of the Edwardian finish.
