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.

Maitland Smith Marble and Bronze Sculptural Side / Accent Tables, a Pair
Located in Culver City, CA
These tables are both stunning and intriguing. Cast bronze, marble and glass, these cocktail or side tables designed by Maitland Smith are evocative of Giacometti style workings. Three birds in bronze gathered around a birdbath or feeding dish bring that whimsy of Diego Giacometti, but with the refinement of classically elevated Maitland Smith design.
These tables, while designed in the 1980's are so refined, they can easily be integrated into any mid century modern, brutalist, Danish modern, or contemporary environment. These tables, as photographed with the Papa Bear chair can add a bit of refined luxury and uniqueness to any environment. Definitely conversation pieces. Gorgeous transitional tables.
