FAQs

The Regency style, spanning the late 18th to early 19th centuries, is characterised by classical proportions, inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, often featuring refined veneers like figured mahogany, brass inlay, and understated architectural elements.

These pieces were typically crafted using a solid softwood or hardwood secondary carcass, heavily veneered with high-grade figured mahogany to create striking grain patterns, complemented by brass fittings and glass door panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, hand-blown cylinder glass with minor imperfections, timber shrinkage consistent with age, and traditional shellac French polish finishes.

This type of statement furniture works well as a focal point in a study or living space, paired with minimalist contemporary seating to highlight the rich wood tones and historical craftsmanship through contrast.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent wood splitting. Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and occasionally apply a quality beeswax polish to nourish the timber.
