Furniture had stopped evolving in design and had moved back to classical forms. The pioneer designers who represented this period were: Thomas Hope (1770-1831), George Smith (1804-28), Henry Holland (1745 - 1806) George IV had a major influence over the furniture makers of the time. This period saw the introduction of brass to wood from the previous marquetry that had been originally used. The sofa table was also introduced. The main features of the Regency period furniture were their simplicity, with straight, unbroken surfaces and lines. Mahogany was still used by most furniture makers and brass was used for decoration with rosewood and zebra wood veneers used for a striking look. French polishing came into vogue around 1810 and allowed for smoother, shiner finishes. During the Regency period, it became fashionable to decorate walls with paintings which led to lower pieces of furniture being introduced. Tallboys disappeared and bookcases and cabinets became smaller. Our reference: 04573 Please feel free to email or call us (+44 20 8809 9605) to arrange a viewing in our North London warehouse.
