The California-born style of Hollywood Regency, also known as Regency Moderne, emerged during the Golden Era of cinema from the 1920s to the ’50s. Decadent and bold, vintage Hollywood Regency furniture and interiors playfully mix colors like jewel tones and hot pinks with lacquered walls, gilded accents, mirrored surfaces and metallic finishes for maximalist spaces.
Although it involved elements of the coinciding Art Deco movement, such as a preference for clean lines, Hollywood Regency was much more opulent, inspired by glamorous movie stars and the lavish set designs for films being made in Tinseltown. Furniture designers associated with the style embraced an eclectic range of influences, including throwbacks to previous styles of grandeur, such as Rococo, neoclassical and chinoiserie, as well as materials, from bamboo dining chairs to lucite bar carts to sunburst mirrors made from gilded resin. Hollywood Regency end tables, floor lamps, chandeliers and other pieces tended to be small-scale, fitting into an overall design rather than serving as a focal point.
Interior decorator Dorothy Draper led the shaping of the Hollywood Regency style and also designed iconic pieces like the España chest, which was manufactured by Henredon. Virginia native William “Billy” Haines, a furniture designer who started as an actor, contrasted hand-painted wallpaper with Chinese ceramics and Chippendale chairs, while architect John Elgin Woolf imbued his Beverly Hills designs with theatrical details. Paul Revere Williams, a trailblazing African-American architect, was pivotal in defining the look through his commercial projects, such as the 1940s Beverly Hills Hotel and bespoke homes that mixed everything from Louis XV paneling to Georgian architecture.

Emmanuelle (Japanese Poster Release) - Offset poster - 1970s
Located in Roma, IT
EMMANUELLE. Japanese Release Poster, 1970s. Offset print in colours on paper. Japan, for the local theatrical release of Emmanuelle (dir. Just Jaeckin, 1974). A striking and highly collectible Japanese poster for the landmark French erotic drama Emmanuelle, starring Sylvia Kristel. The design features a sensuous photographic portrait of Kristel seated in a wicker peacock chair, adorned with pearls and partially draped in translucent fabric, set within a warm, exotic interior. The composition captures the film’s atmosphere of languid eroticism and cosmopolitan decadence that defined 1970s European art-house cinema. The right margin bears bold vertical Japanese titling, contrasting with the soft tonal palette of the central image. The lower portion includes the film’s title in stylized pink script, with distributor and production credits in Japanese. The refined layout and elegant typography exemplify the distinctive aesthetic of Japanese poster design of the period, often more restrained and sophisticated than their Western counterparts. An iconic image from one of the most influential erotic films of the 20th century, which became a global cultural phenomenon and spawned numerous sequels. Condition: Visible handling creases and light surface wear consistent with age; minor edge wear. Overall strong colour and good presentation. A desirable example of 1970s international cinema advertising, combining European erotic...
