How do I spot a reproduction?

Examine the timber shrinkage, tool marks, and construction joints to determine the age of the piece. Genuine older walnut acquires a dry, dense patina that modern machining struggles to replicate. Look closely at the inlay and carving work. Hand-carved elements display subtle irregularities and tool nuance, whereas modern reproductions often reveal mechanical uniformity.

Where should I place a centre table?

A centre table commands attention when positioned prominently in the middle of a spacious room or large hallway. It serves as a natural focal point for displaying lamps, books, or decorative bowls. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the piece for movement. These tables are visually heavy and require surrounding breathing room to showcase their architectural bases.

How do I care for walnut furniture?

Keep walnut furniture away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent the timber from drying out and splitting. Maintain a stable indoor climate to protect delicate wood and bone inlay. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes. Periodic application of appropriate wax preserves the natural lustre of the aged timber.
