Additional Information

Style: Regency Revival

Regency is an architectural style that refers mainly to English buildings from the early 19th century.

The style corresponds to the Biedermeier of 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 small balcony, often in wrought iron.

The main exponent of this style was John Nash.

The term Regency is also applied to the interior design of the same period, enriched by elegant furniture and vertically decorated wallpaper.

Main essence: Mahogany

It is one of the most precious and sought-after woods in cabinet making. It was discovered in Central America around 1600 and began to be imported to England in the 1700s. Much appreciated for its hardness and indestructibility, it became widespread following the blocking of walnut exports from France in 1720 and the consequent elimination of English import duties on mahogany from the colonies in America and India. The most valuable version comes from Cuba, but it became very expensive. At the end of the 18th century it began to be used also in France in Louis XVI, Directory and Empire furniture, its diffusion declined starting from when Napoleon, in 1810, forbade its import. It was generally used in the manufacture of elegant furniture, due to its characteristics and beautiful grain.
