Antique Regency tables date from the period of 1800 to 1830 and are highly sought after. During this era, it was fashionable to copy old classical furniture styles of Egyptian, Roman and Greek with their mythical creatures and elegant styling. Cabinet makers of Regency tables introduced these classical forms in their design with out-swept sabre legs, ornamented with carved lion paw feet and intricate brass inlays. Mahogany was the main timber used during this period but the more elaborate and expensive pieces were made from exotic woods like veneered Rosewood or Zebra-wood in a highly french polished finish. They were still made, skilfully by hand with the use of small hand held carpentry tools and finished using shellac and oils. The Regency table is still quite simple with clean smooth lines but have a slightly more decorative edge, ideal for most interiors offering that wow factor! With a one off show piece. Here at Antiques world, we offer fine examples of furniture from the Regency period from a dining table to smaller side or games table, beautifully restored but still retaining the original charm and character.
