Where should I place a regency marble cabinet?

Position your cabinet along a principal wall in a dining room or drawing room where the stone top remains clear for display. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the French polish. Because the top is heavy stone, ensure the floor is level so the doors hang true and close evenly against the frame.

How do I clean the marble top?

Wipe the stone surface using a damp cloth with mild, neutral soap and dry it immediately with a soft lint-free cloth. Avoid acidic cleaners, vinegar, or lemon juice, which etch polished marble. Apply a specialist stone wax periodically to maintain the sheen and protect against minor liquid marks.

How can I tell if the marble is original?

Examine the underside of the stone slab and the rebate in the timber top where it rests. Original marble matches the exact period proportions and shows matching weathering, edge chamfers, and historical adhesive or positioning marks. Replacements often fit too loosely or feature modern machine-cut edges that differ from nineteenth-century standards.
