Regency Dry Bars
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.

Giltwood Marble Top Console Table, San Francisco Fairmont Hotel, Early 1900s
Located in San Francisco, CA
An incredibly grand and commanding early 1900s Regency-style parcel-gilt mahogany console table with marble top, from the historic Fairmont Hotel atop Nob Hill in San Francisco, California.
Impressively sized and well-executed hand-carved solid wood base with a rich oxblood finish and loosely-done parcel-gilt decoration. Top corners shouldered by fierce lion heads, with large gold-clawed paws anchoring the base. Oversized rosettes and acanthus leaves define and adorn the substantial supports, with decorative trim running along the top and bottom.
Of particular note are a trio of finely done and detailed arches that provide a strikingly architectural touch of depth and drama. Blonde mahogany accents provide handsome contrast to the columns, as they also do while serving to delineate the skirt and base. With original dynamically veined tan marble slab top.
Construction and finish of back indicate that this piece was a built-in console table-type fixture in the hotel. We can envision it serving in the same capacity today, or with minor modifications, as an especially memorable dry bar, reception desk, ceremonial altar, or the like.
Obtained in 2021 from the Sea Cliff enclave estate of an individual attached to the Panama consulate, at which time we were informed that it had originally come from San Francisco’s famous Fairmont Hotel. The Fairmont opened in 1907, and in 1941 its lobby and public areas underwent a transformative and celebrated redesign by the incomparable Dorothy Draper. Though our research was unable to uncover images of this piece in situ, we can imagine it informing Draper’s vision, which made extensive use of red, gold, and black, and included a reception counter...
