Regency Furniture
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.

Gillows Regency Rosewood And Casuarina Sofa Table With John Mclean
Located in Benington, Herts
Extremely Fine Regency Rosewood and Casuarina Sofa table firmly attributed to Gillows of Lancaster, with John Mclean pattern handles and escutcheons, of wonderful faded colour.
English Likely London made Circa 1810
Of conventional form with two side flaps and rectangular section, this fine table is very rare because of the exotic woods used and the quality of its manufacture. The piece is veneered principally with rosewood but the top is crossbanded with amaranth and there are inlaid panels of casuarina oak from Australia (see below). The table has two end supports, an elegant arched stretcher, and two working and two dummy drawers in the friezes to front and back respectively. The primary decoration on this piece is the veneer used but the inlaid stringing employed on the drawer fronts and end blocks on the frieze and to the front and sides of the end supports is also extremely attractive and rather unusual. The combination of this decoration and the arched stretcher suggests an early regency period date as larger stretchers and increased amounts of ormolu mounts were typically used on the best pieces of the George IV. The table retains its fine original castors on the splayed feet and the proportions of the piece are perfect, meaning that it stands very well indeed.
This lovely table is unusual for a number of reasons. The combination of primarily rosewood veneers with boxwood and casuarina, sometimes wrongly known as partridgewood in the trade, is not at all common. An Australian wood...
