The Regency period (c.1811–1830) epitomises refined elegance and neoclassical influence, championed by the Prince Regent, later George IV. Characterised by luxurious materials such as rosewood, mahogany and gilt bronze, the style embraced classical motifs alongside exotic inspirations from Egypt, China and India. Furniture, mirrors, lighting and decorative arts from this era combine bold design with exquisite craftsmanship, making Regency pieces enduringly desirable for their sophistication and timeless appeal.
