Description

A Late Regency Mahogany Mahogany Open Arm Chair with Drop-In Velvet Seat C1820s.

A very fine looking late Regency, English arm chair in the Gillows style with exuberant scroll arms and displaying several other smart design characteristics of the era that support a reputable workshop.

A handsome late regency transition to William 1V period open arm or elbow chair, with sabre back legs and turned and fluted front supports, attractive top rail and scroll end lumber support rail, an attractive antique desk chair, hall or occasional chair if versatile use and considerable decorative appeal.

With its original drop-in horse hair seat, upholstered in velvet during the mid to late 20th century and having some timeworn fading whilst no tears. The mahogany frame offers excellent structural condition with some sun fading which again is an attractive timeworn elegance and supports its authenticity, it will polish to a lustre if preferred, sold as it is.

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

Late Regency seating, dating roughly from 1815 to 1830, is defined by classical Greek and Roman influences, sweeping scrolled armrests, turned or reeded legs, and carved crest rails made predominantly from dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany.

Cabinetmakers during this period primarily utilised solid mahogany for the frame due to its durability and rich grain. Seats were typically constructed with webbed timber frames fitted with drop-in pads upholstered in horsehair, wool, or velvet fabrics.

Authentic Regency armchairs feature hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, genuine aged patination, asymmetric wear on footrests, turned or reeded front legs, and splayed sabre legs at the rear.

An antique open armchair functions well as a standalone accent piece in a study, bedroom, or hallway, providing dark wood tones that contrast against contemporary neutral backdrops and minimalist interiors.

Maintain mahogany timber by applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and gently cleaning velvet upholstery with a soft brush.
