FAQs

The Regency style, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1820, is characterised by classical proportions, inspired by ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian motifs, often incorporating fine timbers like mahogany and rosewood.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense tropical hardwoods such as mahogany, frequently featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and traditional hand-applied polish finishes.

Authenticity is determined by examining secondary timbers, hand-cut joinery, period-appropriate brass fixtures, timber shrinkage patterns, and the presence of hand-planed surfaces rather than modern machine tooling.

An antique wooden cabinet anchors a modern room by introducing historical depth and texture, serving as a functional storage unit or display focal point against neutral walls.

Maintain antique wood by placing it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, avoiding silicone-based sprays, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the timber.
