How do I care for mahogany?

Maintain mahogany furniture by dusting with a dry cloth and avoiding direct sunlight, which can alter the timber colour over time. Apply professional wax polish occasionally to nourish the wood and maintain the natural lustre of the polished surface.

Where does a server go?

Place a dining server against a primary wall in a dining room or large living space where surface area is needed during meals. Ensure adequate clearance around drawers and cabinet doors for daily access to stored tableware.

How do I identify period pieces?

Examine construction methods, timber choice, and hardware styles to distinguish between original eighteenth century pieces and later Edwardian revivals. Look for hand cut dovetails and secondary woods that match the recorded production methods of specific eras.
