The familiar name of Regency furniture comes from the time of when Prince George was regent and in fact, the Regency period lasted for over the first 30 years of the 19th Century. Ornate, thin legged Regency desks were the order for this period and fittings were mainly brass and veneering of rosewood was in fashion with the pioneering Regency furniture makers.
The fine attention to detail in the Regency period brought the introduction of French polishing in the early 1800s - this almost revoluntionized the furniture, shinier, bright and daring - the Regency period dazzled for over 30 years. The Regency period produced some distinctive, wonderful and flamboyant Regency desks and other quality furniture such as chairs, tables and bookcases.
