How do I identify an eighteenth century cabinet?

Eighteenth century cabinets typically display traditional construction methods, hand-cut dovetails, and period timber choices such as richly figured walnut or mahogany. Stylistic markers include Dutch Rococo influences and hand-cut marquetry. Examining the interior timbers and secondary woods often provides further clues to the manufacturing date and regional origin.

Where should I place a corner cabinet?

A corner cabinet fits into unused room junctions, making efficient use of space while displaying decorative objects or books. Standing double-height versions anchor a room vertically, while hanging models release floor space. These pieces work well in dining rooms, studies, or hallways where wall angles allow the curved or canted front to stand out.

What is burr walnut veneer?

Burr walnut veneer comes from growths on walnut trees that produce swirling, complex grain patterns rather than straight lines. Cabinetmakers prized this material for its decorative impact on drawer fronts and cabinet doors. Pieces utilising burr walnut often date from the eighteenth century or the revival periods of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

What is the difference between a credenza and a sideboard?

A credenza is traditionally a low cabinet, often associated with Victorian designs featuring doors and sometimes central display space or flanking columns. Sideboards generally serve dining spaces and may include greater storage capacity for tableware. Both forms frequently incorporate shaped fronts, marquetry inlay, and ormolu mounts depending on the period and style.
