Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

The Regency style flourished in Britain during the early 19th century, characterised by classical proportions, neoclassical motifs inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, and the use of exotic woods or clever grain-painting techniques.

Regency bookcases were typically constructed from native hardwoods such as pine or mahogany, often finished with elaborate grain painting to simulate expensive exotic timbers like rosewood, and embellished with brass mounts or inlay.

Authentic Regency pieces feature period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-cut dovetails, traditional timber shrinkage patterns, aged patina on brass elements, and characteristic classical architectural moulding details.

Pairing dark, classical wood furniture with neutral walls and modern minimalist accessories creates a balanced interior, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping, and periodically apply microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the finish.
