How do I date an oak vanity?

Dating relies on observing stylistic markers, construction details, and hardware styles associated with periods such as the Edwardian era, the Arts and Crafts movement, or the 1930s. Makers' labels, registration marks, and secondary timbers further help pinpoint the era of manufacture when present.

Are the mirrors original?

Many pieces retain their original bevelled or flat glass mirrors, often secured in pivoting wooden frames mounted to the rear of the chest. Slight foxing or silvering wear on the glass frequently confirms its age, though replacements do occur over decades of domestic use.

How should I clean oak furniture?

Maintenance involves dusting with a soft cloth and occasionally applying a quality beeswax to nourish the timber grain. Harsh chemical cleaners and excessive moisture should be avoided to protect the original polished finish and any inlaid details.

What is the Cotswold School style?

The Cotswold School style represents a twentieth-century approach rooted in the Arts and Crafts philosophy, emphasising honest construction and plain oak surfaces. Pieces from this tradition highlight the natural qualities of the timber through hand-worked finishes rather than heavy ornamentation.
