This Regency library armchair belongs to the nineteenth century, dating from circa 1810 to 1820. Constructed from mahogany, velvet, and brass, it has a brown timber frame and a pale green velvet upholstery finish with metal stud trim along the arms and base. The piece has carved lyre-shaped arms, turned front legs, and brass castors, with an original horse hair seat pad inside the cushion. The measurements are 100 cm high, 74 cm wide, and 90 cm deep. Suitable for use in a study, library, or living room, this armchair provides seating while adding a traditional Regency style to the space. The combination of green fabric and warm brown wood grain creates a classic look suited to period interiors and classic home office settings.

FAQs

Regency library chairs typically feature neoclassical design elements, including lyre-shaped scrolled arms, turned or saber legs, and brass castors for ease of movement within a study or library.

Frames were primarily constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, filled with natural horsehair padding, and finished with brass castors and velvet or leather upholstery secured by brass tacks.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved joinery, original brass castors with period screw fixings, classical proportions, and natural age-related wear on timber frames and leg joints.

Place the chair in a reading corner beside a contemporary floor lamp or side table to serve as a focal point that contrasts classical framework with modern living spaces.

Gently vacuum velvet fabric using a soft brush attachment, position the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and apply natural beeswax polish to the timber legs periodically.
