FAQs

The Regency style, spanning the late 18th to the early 19th century in Britain, is characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and inspiration drawn from ancient Greece and Rome.

Cabinet makers of this era predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany and rosewood, frequently incorporating flame mahogany veneers and secondary woods like oak or pine for internal structures.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, period-appropriate timber shrinkage, traditional hand-applied finishes, and construction methods consistent with pre-industrial cabinet making.

Pairing a substantial antique wooden cabinet with contemporary neutral walls and minimalist seating creates a balanced contrast that highlights the rich grain and historical craftsmanship of the piece.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the surface.
