Regency More Desk Accessories

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.

19th Century English Regency Antique Black Leather Writing Box with Bramah Lock

Located in Shippensburg, PA

A VERY FINE LEATHER BOUND STATIONARY WRITING BOX Lock inscribed Bramah, London, inkwell inscribed Berry’s Patent, plate inscribed MARC, March 25 1872 Item # 806PHI26 An unusually fine writing box from the third quarter of the 19th century, this stationary box is exquisitely crafted using top-grain black leather and high quality custom brass hardware throughout. The quality is self-evident and this box would have been a very expensive acquisition during the period. It is unmarked, but was likely made in collaboration with Bramah; though they specialized in the manufacture and retailing of “unbreakable” locks, they offered an extensive catalog of exceptional writing and stationary accessories with their locks. This box opens first to reveal three white alabaster writing tablets surrounded by leather, providing a hard surface for writing note cards while giving access to the pen tray, inkwell and match box for sealing the envelopes. The upper portion of the box remains upright to allow access to the fitted storage slots, within which letters and supplies can easily be organized. Tiny brass tabs release the lower compartment lid and a small leather swatch allows access to the upper compartment. The lock is stamped BRAMAH LONDON...
