Regency Vases and Vessels

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.

Pair of Pattern 1166 Vases, Spode, C1820
Located in Melbourne, Victoria
Pair of vases in the ancient Greek shape known as Kanteros, decorated with pattern 1166. A stunning pair, in excellent condition. The flower painting on these vases is exceptional, even for the Regency period, when English flower painting was at its height. The Kantharos shape is a type of ancient Greek vase that was used for drinking wine. It was named after the word "kantharos," which was used to describe a type of two-handled cup in ancient Greece. The Kantharos shape is characterized by a large bowl, small base, and two wide handles that rise up from the sides of the bowl and curve upwards towards the rim. The shape was used primarily for drinking wine at symposia, or social gatherings, and was also used in religious ceremonies. Kantharos vases were produced in a variety of materials, including clay, bronze, and silver, and were decorated with a range of motifs, including mythical scenes, animal figures, and floral designs. They were often used to serve wine, but were also used to hold other liquids such as oil or water. The Kantharos shape was widely used throughout the ancient world, and examples have been found in archaeological sites from Greece to Italy to Asia Minor. It is considered a classic example of ancient Greek pottery and is an important part of the history of Greek...

Coalport Pair of Floral Gilded Sauce Tureens, Marquess of Anglesey, circa 1820
Located in London, GB
This is an extremely rare set of lidded sauce tureens made by Coalport in circa 1820. The tureens are decorated in the "Marquess of Anglesey" pattern. These sauce tureens would have formed part of a large dessert service. They were used for the sauce to be served on ice cream or a cooked sweet dish, and the lids have holes for the sauce ladles. Coalport was one of the leading potters in 19th and 20th century, coming out with many innovative designs. The pottery emerged around the year 1800 in Shropshire, right on the edge of Staffordshire and near other great makers such as Spode, Minton, Davenport and many others. They went on to become a major potter in the 19th century and brought out many iconic designs. The Welsh Nantgarw factory first created the heavily gilded service for the Marquess of Anglesey, with beautifully painted flowers. Later the Swansea factory made additions to or copies of this service, and circa 1820 Coalport...
