Regency style refers to a design aesthetic that emerged in Britain during the early 19th century, particularly from 1811 to 1820, when King George IV ruled as Prince Regent. This style is characterized by elegance, symmetry, and a blend of classical influences, often incorporating elements from Ancient Greece and Rome. In furniture, Regency style features clean lines, rich materials, and decorative motifs such as laurel wreaths and animal figures. Common materials include mahogany and brass, while colors are typically bold and vibrant. This style also influenced architecture, fashion, and interior design, making it a significant period in the history of design.
