Regency Dining Chair

Description

The Regency Dining Chair was designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD. It is an elegant example of Regency style seating. In 1811, Prince George, the Prince of Wales assumed rule of Britain, not as a king, but rather as an acting monarch while his father suffered a long bout of mental illness. His official title during this time was Regent, hence the name “Regency Period.” During his rule he influenced aesthetics and artistic taste, especially in furniture and objet d’art which he commissioned. Unlike furniture designers of prior periods who borrowed elements from Roman and Greek art, those of the Regency Period tried to recreate the actual furniture pieces found in museums, in vaults, and on artwork. Ornamentation was used sparingly for its elegance rather than for excess as in carvings and overly curved lines exhibited in earlier periods. The woodworking of the pieces generally exhibited plain lines and surfaces with slender legs. This helped to bring attention to and highlight the ornamentation with minimal distraction. The plain frame of the Regency Dining Chair helps draw attention to the hand-carved rosettes. The elegant design of this chair is timeless. It is available in a variety of finishes and accents. The seat cushion has 8-way hand-tied springs which will not sag even after decades of use. Upholstery in COM is offered at no extra charge. Custom sizing is available.
