I have been established as a dealer and antique furniture restorer for almost 20 years.

I have a real love and passion of fine 18th and early 19th century furniture.

As a professional restorer I am always searching for the finest quality and original items but should any restoration be nessesary it will be sympathetically and skilfully carried out in house by myself.

If items are purchased with buy now option I shall do my very best to work with my courier to offer free delivery within most of UK mainland. (Some exclusions to locations may apply)

It has been noted that the system is rounding up measurements added in cm to the next nearest inch so if dimensions are critical for a particular space please work by the cm size listed of please ask.

This Regency chiffonier demonstrates the refined craftsmanship of the period through its rich dark brown rosewood construction enhanced by delicate boxwood line inlay. The upper section comprises a raised shelf enclosed by a pierced brass wire grille, supported by brass pillars and finished with a three-quarter brass gallery top. Below, a pull-out drawer fitted with drop lion mask handles reveals a green baize-lined writing surface and compartmentalised interior. The lower cabinet features double doors inset with pale fabric panels behind a protective trellis, complemented by slender tapering uprights and brass paw feet. Measuring 120 cm high, 107 cm wide and 45 cm deep, the piece offers a practical footprint for display and storage in a formal living room, study or hallway. It integrates easily into traditional or eclectic interior schemes as a statement storage console or writing surface.

FAQs

Originating in early nineteenth-century Britain, Regency chiffoniers are low storage cabinets featuring upper shelving, enclosed cupboards, and compact proportions. They frequently incorporate classical motifs, dark exotic hardwoods, decorative brass grilles, and line inlay influenced by French Empire and Greco-Roman architecture.

Cabinetmakers during the Regency era favoured imported rosewood and mahogany, often accented with boxwood or brass stringing. Lower doors frequently featured brass wire mesh lattice backed with gathered silk fabric, cast brass hardware such as lion mask handles, and gilded or brass paw feet.

Authentic pieces demonstrate early nineteenth-century cabinetmaking techniques, including hand-dovetailed drawer joints, original cast brass fittings, and thin cut veneers over oak or pine carcass wood. Fine geometric inlay, reeded columns, and brass wirework backing are hallmark traits of workshop production from this era.

A rosewood chiffonier functions well as a focal point in a dining room, hallway, or drawing room. Modern styling often pairs the dark wood tones with neutral wall palettes, contemporary artwork positioned above the shelf, and minimal decorative ceramics on the upper surface.

Preserve the finish by dusting with a dry, soft lint-free cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain once or twice a year. Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer lifting, drying, or wood movement.
