How do I spot a true Georgian chair?

Examine the timber beneath and the joinery methods used in the frame construction. Eighteenth-century makers relied on pegged mortise and tenon joints rather than modern adhesives. Look closely at the hand-carved details on the oval backrest for tool marks and subtle asymmetries that indicate manual execution rather than machine production.

Were these chairs used for dining?

Dining chairs formed a major part of eighteenth-century production, though many surviving examples served as hall chairs or salon seating. Dining sets were often larger, while armchairs and side chairs populated drawing rooms. Consider the seat height and upholstery durability when deciding whether to place them around a modern dining table.

How should I care for antique wood?

Keep wooden frames away from direct sunlight and sudden temperature shifts to prevent timber splitting or veneer lifting. Natural beeswax applied sparingly helps nourish old mahogany and satinwood surfaces. Avoid commercial liquid polishes that contain silicone, as they can degrade historic finishes over time.

What is the difference between original and revival pieces?

Original eighteenth-century pieces display the tool technology, wear patterns, and timber ageing consistent with their early creation date. Revival pieces made during the Victorian era imitate these earlier styles using slightly different structural habits and machine-assisted cuts. Both categories hold merit, but accurate dating relies on inspecting internal framing and secondary woods.
