REGENCY STYLE

Like France’s Empire style, Regency-style furniture was rooted in neoclassicism; the characteristics of its bedroom furniture, armchairs, dining room tables and other items include clean lines, angular shapes and elegant details.

Dating roughly from the 1790s to 1830s, antique Regency-style furniture gets its name from Prince George of Wales — formally King George IV — who became Prince Regent in 1811 after his father, George III, was declared unfit to rule. England’s Regency style is one of the styles represented in Georgian furniture.

George IV’s arts patronage significantly influenced the development of the Regency style, such as the architectural projects under John Nash, which included the renovation of Buckingham House into the formidable Buckingham Palace with a grand neoclassical facade. Celebrated designers of the period include Thomas Sheraton, Henry Holland and Thomas Hope. Like Nash, Hope instilled his work with classical influences, such as saber-legged chairs based on the ancient Greek klismos. He is credited with introducing the term “interior decoration” to English with the 1807 publishing of Household Furniture and Interior Decoration.

Although more subdued than previous styles like Rococo and Baroque, Regency interiors incorporated copious use of chintz fabrics and wallpaper adorned in chinoiserie-style art. Its furniture featured fine materials and luxurious embellishments. Furniture maker George Bullock, for instance, regularly used detailed wood marquetry and metal ornaments on his pieces.

Archaeological discoveries in Egypt and Greece informed Regency-era details, such as carved scrollwork, sphinxes and palmettes, as well as the shape of furniture. A Roman marble cinerary chest, for example, would be reinterpreted into a wooden cabinet. The Napoleonic Wars also inspired furniture, with martial designs like tented beds and camp-style chairs becoming popular. While the reddish-brown mahogany was prominent in this range of pieces, imported woods like zebrawood and ebony were increasingly in demand.

Pair of 1970s American Solid Brass Glass Lantern Pendant Sconces

Located in Los Angeles, CA

A striking and highly architectural pair of vintage American solid brass and beveled glass lantern-form hanging sconces, designed and manufactured in the United States during the 1970s. These substantial handcrafted fixtures embody the timeless appeal of American modernist lighting, blending nautical, colonial revival, and Hollywood Regency influences into one exceptionally versatile design. Each lantern features a hand-fabricated solid brass frame with warm original patina, clear inset glass panels on all sides, a pyramidal roofline, and a vented chimney top suspended from a brass hoop and canopy assembly. The hinged glass access door opens smoothly, revealing a three-light candelabra cluster designed to provide a warm, dramatic illumination. These statement fixtures work beautifully in a variety of interiors—from Spanish Revival, Coastal, Transitional, Traditional, and Modern Farmhouse settings to sophisticated entry halls, staircases, powder rooms, covered loggias, libraries, or luxury outdoor-inspired interiors. The handcrafted construction, solid brass weight, and authentic aged patina make this pair especially desirable for interior designers, architects, collectors of vintage American lighting, and those sourcing one-of-a-kind statement illumination.
