This Regency chiffonier is constructed from warm brown mahogany and flame mahogany veneer, accented with brass details. The piece stands 122 cm high, 79 cm wide, and 37 cm deep, combining a two-door base cupboard with a two-tier shelf back. The upper structure incorporates a pierced brass gallery rail, slender turned brass columns, reverse C scroll supports, and brass stringing along the shelf edges. Below, the cupboard section presents a fine figured top, a pair of panelled doors framed by cross veneers and mouldings, a central brass door strip, and gadrooned bun feet. Inside, a single adjustable shelf features a reeded front edge. Suitable for domestic display and storage, the chiffonier functions well in a living room, dining room, or hallway to hold books, decorative objects, or tableware.

FAQs

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and intense sunlight to prevent veneer movement, dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply a light coat of natural beeswax polish annually.

Position the piece in a dining space, hallway, or living room as a drinks server or display cabinet, pairing the warm mahogany wood tone with minimalist modern ceramics, framed art, or neutral wall finishes.

Look for signs of hand-planed secondary timbers, authentic hand-dovetailed joints, original brass fittings showing natural oxidisation, and deep hand-polished finishes over highly figured wood grain.

Authentic Regency pieces typically feature high-grade flame mahogany veneers laid over solid timber hulls, hand-dovetailed drawer linings, cast brass galleries, and turned or hand-carved feet.

Originating in the early 19th century during the British Regency era, a chiffonier is a compact sideboard or cabinet featuring low cupboards topped with open shelving, designed for storage and display in dining rooms or drawing rooms.
