Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

This Regency period rosewood secretaire cabinet combines a glazed bookcase top with a cylinder roll-top desk and a lower drawer. Rich dark brown timber displays warm grain variations, complemented by precise brass inlay on the roll-top and drawer front. The upper cabinet contains two glass doors with intricate brass wire grilles, flanked by slender turned columns. Small round brass knobs operate the drawers and doors, while heavy turned and ringed legs support the entire structure beneath a moulded cornice. The dimensions measure 115 cm in height, 90 cm in width, and 50 cm in depth, providing compact proportions for domestic use. Position this elegant cabinet in a study, library, or drawing room to serve as a practical writing desk and display unit. The enclosed upper shelves accommodate books or decorative items behind protective wire grilles, while the pull-out writing surface offers a dedicated workspace for correspondence. The combination of enclosed storage, display shelving, and a writing desk makes this piece well suited for traditional or classic interior schemes where functional antique furniture enhances the room.

FAQs

A Regency secretaire cabinet typically dates from the early 19th century in Britain, combining classical proportions with functional storage. Features include roll-top or cylinder fronts, brass inlay, and upper display sections with wire grilles or glazed doors.

Cabinetmakers primarily used imported dark hardwoods such as rosewood and mahogany. Decorative elements often incorporated brass marquetry inlay, gilt-metal mountings, wire mesh grilles, and secondary interior woods like pine or oak for drawer linings.

Authentic Regency furniture exhibits hand-dovetailed drawer joints, natural timber grain variations, and genuine brass inlay set flush with the veneer. Look for reeded or turned legs and original locks or escutcheons consistent with early 19th-century manufacturing techniques.

Place the unit against a neutral wall to highlight the rich grain of the rosewood timber. The upper shelves can display bound books or ceramics, while the cylinder bureau provides a compact, functional writing desk for study areas or living rooms.

Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting and timber fading. Clean surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality natural beeswax sparingly along the grain to preserve the original finish.
