Regency Simulated Rosewood Chair Circa 1820

19th century
Description

Really interesting little chair in very original condition. It’s made from Beech but it’s been polished to look like Rosewood, which has nicely worn and faded, giving a lovely rich patina.

Typical of the Regency period, it has a rope twist back rail, whilst the wide central back rail has it’s original circular brass plaque and two smaller ones at either end. The centre one does display some use – it’s no longer perfectly round but it’s charming nonetheless.

The chair displays some lovely turnings with elegant curved and tapered front legs. The caned seat looks original – and to be honest is not in the best condition, it’s a bit fragile but it is still there, so we’d recommend that this is really a display piece and not suitable for everyday!

A lovely interesting collectable piece but maybe not that practical!

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.

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.

Regency period chairs, crafted in Britain between 1811 and 1830, are defined by classical proportions, turned legs, and decorative elements inspired by Greco-Roman motifs.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilised hardwoods like beech or pine painted with graining to simulate rosewood, combined with hand-woven cane seats and brass mounts.

Authentic pieces feature traditional joinery techniques, hand-turned components, original woven cane panels, and natural wear patterns along the frame edges and stretchers.

A single Regency chair works well as an accent piece in a hallway, paired with a writing desk, or positioned in a bedroom corner to add historical detail.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry cloth, keep the woven cane seat away from direct heat sources to prevent brittleness, and avoid abrasive chemical cleaners.
