FAQs

Regency furniture dates from approximately 1811 to 1830 and is characterised by neoclassical proportions inspired by classical Greek, Roman, and Egyptian antiquities. Key elements include swept sabre legs, brass stringing inlays, reeded or scrolled arms, and rich native or imported hardwoods like mahogany and rosewood.

Chairs from this period were predominantly constructed from solid or veneered mahogany, often highlighted with brass line inlays or carved wooden details. Upholstery foundations typically utilised horsehair padding, burlap webbing, and brass studding, covered with woven needlepoint, tapestry, or silk fabrics.

Authentic Regency armchairs display hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, subtle asymmetry from hand-planing, and genuine age patination on untouched surfaces. Look for period-correct construction features such as thin brass inlays, hand-carved motifs, and original sabre or turned leg profiles.

A Regency armchair serves effectively as a singular accent piece in a study, hallway, or living room setting. Pairing dark mahogany woodwork alongside neutral wall palettes or contemporary linen upholstery creates a balanced contrast between historical architecture and modern minimalist decor.

Maintain mahogany timber by lightly dusting with a microfiber cloth and applying a pure beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, joint movement, and textile fading.
