Regency Building and Garden Elements
REGENCY STYLE
Like France’s Empire style, Regency-style furniture was rooted in neoclassicism; the characteristics of its bedroom furniture, armchairs, dining room tables and other items include clean lines, angular shapes and elegant details.
Dating roughly from the 1790s to 1830s, antique Regency-style furniture gets its name from Prince George of Wales — formally King George IV — who became Prince Regent in 1811 after his father, George III, was declared unfit to rule. England’s Regency style is one of the styles represented in Georgian furniture.
George IV’s arts patronage significantly influenced the development of the Regency style, such as the architectural projects under John Nash, which included the renovation of Buckingham House into the formidable Buckingham Palace with a grand neoclassical facade. Celebrated designers of the period include Thomas Sheraton, Henry Holland and Thomas Hope. Like Nash, Hope instilled his work with classical influences, such as saber-legged chairs based on the ancient Greek klismos. He is credited with introducing the term “interior decoration” to English with the 1807 publishing of Household Furniture and Interior Decoration.
Although more subdued than previous styles like Rococo and Baroque, Regency interiors incorporated copious use of chintz fabrics and wallpaper adorned in chinoiserie-style art. Its furniture featured fine materials and luxurious embellishments. Furniture maker George Bullock, for instance, regularly used detailed wood marquetry and metal ornaments on his pieces.
Archaeological discoveries in Egypt and Greece informed Regency-era details, such as carved scrollwork, sphinxes and palmettes, as well as the shape of furniture. A Roman marble cinerary chest, for example, would be reinterpreted into a wooden cabinet. The Napoleonic Wars also inspired furniture, with martial designs like tented beds and camp-style chairs becoming popular. While the reddish-brown mahogany was prominent in this range of pieces, imported woods like zebrawood and ebony were increasingly in demand.

Set of Elegant Wrought-Iron Dining Furniture
By Leinfelder
Located in Katonah, NY
A suite of wrought-iron furniture manufactured by Leinfelder & Sons of Lacrosse, WI, comprised of one curved settee, one round dining table, and two armchairs, circa 1930. Table is 29 ins. high and 48 ins. in diameter. Curved bench is 32 ins. high, 93.5 ins. wide, 46 ins. deep. Chairs are 32 ins. high, 20 ins. wide, 22 ins. deep.
Joseph J. Leinfelder & Sons was primarily an industrial sheet metal business that for one short period (1925-1939) produced an array of imaginative and stylish wrought-iron furniture and accessories. The line was represented by Mary Ryan, a dealer based in Chicago and New York, and sold by such retailers as R.H. Macy & Co. and Neiman Marcus. Cyril Leinfelder, the creative genius behind the designs, had a knack for melding traditional design motifs with a modern design sensibility. The 1933 catalog (the first to be produced) notes, “19th-century designs are immense favorites... The trick is to interpret our adaptations of Victorian and French Empire patterns in materials and colors that give lightness and suggest the modern spirit”.
This particular suite, called the Sheraton suite...
