How do I match a pair with my bed height?

Measure the top surface of your mattress to ensure the bedside tables sit level with or slightly below it for comfortable access. Consider the proportions of lamp placement and drawer clearance when selecting between tall chests and low tables.

Are these pieces solid mahogany throughout?

Most examples combine solid mahogany frames with mahogany veneers applied to secondary woods for stability. Drawer linings and internal structures often utilise pine or oak depending on the period and regional origin.

What is the difference between Edwardian and Georgian revival styles?

Edwardian pieces often feature lighter inlaid decoration in satinwood and boxwood, reflecting the Arts and Crafts influence or Sheraton revival tastes. Georgian revival cabinets from the 1930s tend to reproduce heavier proportions, carved details, and waxed finishes characteristic of the eighteenth century.

How do I care for wax-finished mahogany surfaces?

Apply a quality beeswax periodically and buff with a soft cloth to maintain the timber lustre and protect against moisture. Avoid placing damp items directly onto the wood and keep cabinets away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
