Additional Information

Style: Regency Revival

Regency is an architectural style that mainly refers to English buildings from the early 19th century period. The style corresponds to the Biedermeier of the German-speaking countries, the Federal of the United States and the French Empire style.
The style perfectly follows the neoclassical architecture of the Georgian style, adding a touch of elegance and brightness to the structures.
A distinctive feature of the Regency style is found in the facade where the door is flanked by two columns that sometimes support a balcony, often in wrought iron.
The main exhibitor of this style was John Nash.
The term of Regency is also applied to the interior design of that same period, enriched by elegant furniture and a vertically decorated wallpaper.

Main essence: Walnut

Walnut wood comes from the plant whose botanical name is juglans regia , probably originally from the East but very common in Europe. Light or dark brown in color, it is a hard wood with a beautiful grain, widely used in antique furniture. It was the main essence in Italy throughout the Renaissance and later had a good diffusion in Europe, especially in England, until the advent of mahogany. It was used for solid wood furniture and sometimes carvings and inlays, its only big limitation is that it suffers a lot from woodworm. In France it was widely used more than anything else in the provinces. In the second half of the eighteenth century its use decreased significantly because mahogany and other exotic woods were preferred.
