It officially lasted from 1811 to 1820, when the old king died and the Regent became King George IV. In stylistic terms, however, British furniture from approximately 1800 to 1837 might be labeled Regency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"thin-font\">Regency furniture continues the popular Neoclassical style of the previous century but takes the references to ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian design even further.

Dark, heavy woods such as mahogany and rosewood were the most commonly used in these dramatic, strong pieces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"thin-font\">Today we are rounding up some of our favorite examples of contemporary designers using Regency period furniture in their work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/markhamroberts.com\/\"><\/p>\n<h2>Markham Roberts<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"785\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2229\" src=\"http:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/markhamrobertsr-regency-chair-interior-design.jpg\" alt=\"Markham Roberts interior\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/markhamrobertsr-regency-chair-interior-design.jpg 564w, https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/markhamrobertsr-regency-chair-interior-design-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alexahampton.com\/interiors\"><\/p>\n<h2>Alexa Hampton<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"826\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2230\" src=\"http:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/Alexa-Hamptonliving-room-interior-design.jpg\" alt=\"Alexa Hampton interior\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/Alexa-Hamptonliving-room-interior-design.jpg 600w, https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/Alexa-Hamptonliving-room-interior-design-218x300.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2231\" src=\"http:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/Alexa-Hampton-neoclassical-regency-antique-furniture-interior-design.jpg\" alt=\"Alexa Hampton interior\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/Alexa-Hampton-neoclassical-regency-antique-furniture-interior-design.jpg 400w, https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/Alexa-Hampton-neoclassical-regency-antique-furniture-interior-design-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roseuniacke.com\/\"><\/p>\n<h2>Rose Uniacke<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"708\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2228\" src=\"http:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/rose-uniacke-london-vogue-habituallychic-002-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rose Uniacke interior\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/rose-uniacke-london-vogue-habituallychic-002-1.jpg 564w, https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/rose-uniacke-london-vogue-habituallychic-002-1-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelsmithinc.com\/\"><\/p>\n<h2>Michael Smith<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"774\" height=\"1024\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2227\" src=\"http:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/MichaelSmith_CuratedHouse_p215top-774x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Smith interior\" style=\"width: 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/MichaelSmith_CuratedHouse_p215top-774x1024-1.jpg 774w, https:\/\/osullivanantiques.com\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/MichaelSmith_CuratedHouse_p215top-774x1024-1-227x300.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regency refers to the period in Great Britain when George, Prince of Wales, assumed control of the country after his father King George III was deemed mentally unfit to rule.
