FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Can I come and see your reproduction furniture, or do I have to buy on-line?
We do not have a traditional shop or showroom in the conventional sense. All our reproduction furniture is in a warehouse, where you are welcome to see 'how we do it'. Please contact us a couple of days before you intend visiting so that we can ensure there is someone around to look after you, and offer you help in finding what you are looking for.
How do you deliver your reproduction furniture?
All our reproduction furniture is delivered either by ourselves or by a dedicated furniture carrier. The carrier should be notified of any faults or problems immediately.
Can you deliver outside of the British mainland?
We can arrange delivery anywhere in the UK, including the Scottish Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and Northern Ireland. We can deliver at very competitive rates to Southern Ireland and deliver there on a weekly basis. We are happy to quote for export orders to Europe, and can offer a weekly delivery service to most parts of the EU. For other parts of the world we are happy to forward goods to your designated shipper in the UK. Give us a call.
What is the colour of your mahogany furniture?
Our mahogany furniture comes approximately in one finish/colour. This is a medium/dark honey mahogany finish. The appearance of the photographs on the website may vary in colour due to the different conditions in which the furniture was photographed. You will also get quite a variation in appearance of the shade of colour depending on the type of monitor you use for your PC. A TFT or laptop will generally display the colours as paler than a standard CRT monitor. It is possible for you to stain down the colour if it is too light if done with care. Dark antique waxes are worth investigating for this before going down to the DIY store.
We can offer our polished furniture in a darker shade to order. You need to allow about 12 weeks for delivery.
Our painted furniture comes in two finishes - antique white and antique gold.
How do I look after my reproduction mahogany furniture?
Your furniture will last for years with a light polish and occassional dust. Good quality furniture polish is always better than the spray on non wax polishes.
Is your furniture solid wood or veneered?
Our furniture is mainly solid wood (mahogany), although in a limited number of pieces where there is a risk of warping on flat surfaces, laminated timber may be used. All the timbers are selected and kiln dried prior to manufacture by hand. Each piece will vary slightly but this adds to the unique quality of it.
