FAQs

The Regency style, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1830, was heavily influenced by classical Greco-Roman, Egyptian, and Chinese motifs, characterised by architectural proportions, symmetry, and refined ornamentation.

Cabinet makers predominantly used exotic veneers such as rosewood and mahogany, accented with lighter contrasting timbers like boxwood stringing, alongside gilt-bronze or brass mounts and decorative grilles.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetails, secondary woods like oak or pine behind veneers, traditional patination, and period-correct brass or ormolu hardware.

Placing a formal dark wood cabinet against neutral walls allows its rich grain and metallic details to stand out, serving as a sophisticated focal point that grounds modern minimalist or eclectic spaces.

Maintain a stable room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood surface rather than modern silicone polishes.
