Regency Table Lamps

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.

English Pair of Antique Patinated Brass Oil Table Lamps with Hurricane Shades
Located in Shippensburg, PA
On this fine pair of electrified antique table lamps, the brass is patinated to a deep oiled black which is highlighted with a recurring strata of applied natural brass banding encircling the lamps. At the base, each lamp starts out with a brief flat foot which is immediately cut to a concave groove, then to a fillet, and then to an ogee which meets a deep Tenon which rises via a series of steps to the final cove and bead that rest under the lamp arm. It reads like a finely executed wood turning, featuring an extremely complex series of profiles, but uses brass as the medium instead. The shades are frosted with a thick ruffled rim and a banding pattern of clear circles underneath. At the centre bulge of the shades there are encircling flowers, berries and saw-toothed leaves. The finial at the base of the lamp arm is embellished with a flower petal casted inconspicuously, which has a small switch to turn the light on worked skillfully into the existing design, as this was originally an oil lamp that was wired afterwards for electricity. This pair of lamps make a fine set for a hall or console table, as well as a balanced set of accessory lighting to create the layered lighting...
