Mid 20th Century Regency Style Giltwood Daybed

1920 - 1940
Description

A giltwood daybed in the Regency style, probably mid 20th century, with sweeping scroll ends of unequal height and continuous reeded mouldings. All matching supports - carved with feathered wings and scrolls resembling a boot aka a 'hermes foot'.

The backless form gives the frame a sculptural profile, while its worn gilt surface brings warmth and texture to the carved detail. Measuring just over two metres wide, it would make a distinctive addition to a drawing room, bedroom or generous hallway.

Width 202cm × Depth 69cm × Height 64–86cm

Seat Height 43cm

Width 6′8″ × Depth 2′3″ × Height 2′1″–2′10″

Seat Height 1′5″

Offered for reupholstery. The upholstery is partially stripped, with worn remnants remaining and loose and frayed webbing visible beneath. The gilt surface shows rubbing, chips and losses, with underlying finish layers exposed and visible lines at some joints.

Date of Manufacture

Kontrast Antiques has dated this Regency Style Giltwood Daybed to the 1930s.

FAQs

Regency style furniture is characterised by Neoclassical influences inspired by ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian forms. Common features include symmetrical silhouettes, scrolled arms, reeded legs, lion paw feet, and decorative gilding.

Giltwood furniture typically features a carved solid timber core, such as beech or pine, covered in layers of gesso. Gold leaf is then applied to the surface to create a lustrous finish, often paired with traditional upholstery fabrics.

Mid-20th-century revival pieces often combine classical 19th-century proportions with modern construction techniques, such as hidden staples or updated internal timber frames, while retaining hand-finishing or gilded distressing.

A Regency style daybed functions effectively as a focal piece in a formal living room, placed parallel to a window or at the foot of a bed, bridging contemporary upholstered pieces with historical design accents.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently using a soft, dry ostrich feather duster or dry microfibre cloth. Avoid water, commercial polishes, or chemical cleaners, as moisture can dissolve the underlying gesso layer.
