How do I identify a Regency sofa?

Regency pieces often feature clean architectural lines, scroll-end arms, and dark mahogany frames reflecting classical influences from the early nineteenth century. Detailing on these sofas tends to be restrained compared to later Victorian iterations, focusing on timber grain and simple carved elements.

Where were these sofas used?

These seating forms served multiple domestic spaces, from formal reception rooms and parlours to private bedrooms and window bays. Larger settees occupied drawing rooms, whilst smaller daybeds and window seats catered to private chambers and dressing areas.

What is satinwood inlay?

Satinwood inlay involves setting pale, lustrous timber into recesses cut within the darker mahogany surface. It creates decorative borders and motifs. This technique became particularly common on Edwardian salon furniture and lighter decorative settees.

How do I care for mahogany frames?

Maintaining mahogany involves keeping wooden surfaces away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent timber drying. Regular dusting preserves the polish. Upholstery requires gentle cleaning appropriate to the specific textile, whether velvet, patterned fabric, or plain woven material.
