Dealers Notes

I have been established as a dealer and antique furniture restorer for almost 20 years.

I have a real love and passion of fine 18th and early 19th century furniture.

As a professional restorer I am always searching for the finest quality and original items but should any restoration be nessesary it will be sympathetically and skilfully carried out in house by myself.

If items are purchased with buy now option I shall do my very best to work with my courier to offer free delivery within most of UK mainland. (Some exclusions to locations may apply)

It has been noted that the system is rounding up measurements added in cm to the next nearest inch so if dimensions are critical for a particular space please work by the cm size listed of please ask.

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Regency writing tables originated in early 19th-century Britain, characterized by classical symmetry, slim proportions, turned or tapered legs, and decorative metalwork such as brass inlay, bead moulding, and castors.

Primary timbers included rosewood and mahogany, often selected for strong grain figures. Tops frequently incorporated leather writing surfaces with blind or gold tooling, complemented by solid brass handles, mounts, and castors.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, beneath-top wood shrinkage consistent with age, and hand-tooled leather surfaces showing gradual wear.

A Regency writing table functions well as a focal desk in a home office, a compact workstation in a living room alcove, or positioned behind a sofa as a central decorative table.

Keep the wood surface clean using a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax periodically in the direction of the grain. Protect the leather insert from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking and fading.
