What Is Mahogany?
Mahogany is one of the most important and widely used hardwoods in the history of antique furniture. Celebrated for its strength, stability and rich colouring, it became the defining cabinet making timber of the Georgian, Regency and Victorian periods, appearing in everything from dining tables and bookcases to chests of drawers and library furniture.

What Is the William IV Period?
The William IV period (1830-1837) bridged the transition between the Regency and Victorian era. Furniture became more substantial in form while retaining strong classical influences, with richly figured mahogany, bold scroll carving and practical, well balanced designs.
