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 library chairs, produced roughly between 1810 and 1830, are characterised by classical influence, comfortable proportions, and refined timber frames. They frequently feature swept or flared backrests, woven cane panels, and deep upholstered seats tailored for extended reading.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilized dense hardwoods such as Cuban mahogany or rosewood for structural strength and rich grain patterns. Seats were traditionally upholstered in leather, while backrests and side panels often incorporated hand-woven cane.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery, original brass castors attached to turned or reeded front legs, and natural wear patterns on frame contact points. Hand-cut dovetails, secondary timbers like pine or oak, and hand-punched cane holes indicate 19th-century construction.

A pair of Regency armchairs can serve as accent seating alongside a minimalist modern sofa or flank a contemporary fireplace. The combination of rich timber tones and textured leather adds visual depth to modern minimalist or eclectic spaces.

Leather upholstery requires regular application of specialised leather balm to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking. Woven cane should be kept away from direct heat sources and periodically wiped with a damp cloth to prevent dehydration of the plant fibres.
