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.

FAQs

The Regency style, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1820, is characterised by classical restraint, inspired by ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian motifs, featuring clean lines, dark exotic woods, and sophisticated brass or carved detailing.

Cabinet makers predominantly utilised dense tropical hardwoods such as rosewood and mahogany, often enhanced by intricate grain patterns, finely turned pedestals, and robust joinery executed by master workshops like Gillows of Lancaster and London.

Authenticity is verified through traditional construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, original patination, and where applicable, makers stamps or signatures characteristic of prominent workshops of the period.

This piece functions effectively as a sophisticated side table or occasional surface, contrasting against neutral walls and modern upholstery to ground a room with historical depth and rich wooden texture.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, supplemented by occasional applications of high-quality microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the historic timber surface.
