FAQs

Regency furniture, dating from the early 19th century, is characterised by classical proportions, neoclassical motifs, and a refined elegance inspired by ancient Greece and Rome.

Cabinet makers typically used dense timbers such as mahogany, rosewood, and sometimes softer woods with painted or faux-finished surfaces, often complemented by brass handles and escutcheons.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetail joints, period-appropriate secondary woods, hand-turned feet, and natural ageing characteristics such as oxidisation on the timber surfaces.

A Regency chest serves as a striking focal point when paired with minimalist contemporary decor, balancing historic craftsmanship with clean architectural lines.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and maintain the finish by applying microcrystalline wax periodically rather than modern silicone polishes.
