Regency Library Armchair

19th century
Description

A Good Quality Early 19th Century Simulated Rosewood

Regency Period Library Armchair Having Elegant Scrolling

Arms Over X Framed End Supports With Carved Decoration,

Ormolu Mounts And Replaced Brass Castors

(This elegant design of chair is typical regency design and

offers great comfort in combination with a real elegance and

classy look. That is a combination which can often be hard to

find during regency times, as often there is a trade off between

comfort and style. It is in excellent condition and has been

recently reupholstered. The replaced brass castors are in the

identical style to what the original would have been. It is

constructed from ‘simulated rosewood’ which could also

be described as ‘faux rosewood’, which means that it is

actually beech, or a similar wood, which was stained at the

point of construction to make it look like the item has been

constructed from the hugely more expensive solid rosewood.

Again this is a fairly common technique of the time)

Circa 1825

Height – 37in

Width – 23in

Depth – 34in

Seat Height – 18in

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Originating in early 19th-century Britain, Regency library armchairs incorporate classical Greco-Roman design elements, featuring swept legs, curved scroll arms, and deep seating proportioned for reading rooms.

These armchairs were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or rosewood framing, featuring hand-carved details, brass castors, internal webbing, and wool, silk, or damask upholstery.

Authentic Regency examples exhibit hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joinery, period-appropriate brass cup castors, classical carved motifs such as lotus leaves or scrolls, and natural patination across the timber finish.

Position the chair beside a streamlined side table and floor lamp to create a focused reading corner that balances historical timber work with contemporary lines.

Dust timber elements regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax along the grain annually, and clean textile upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment.
