Product Description

A Gentleman’s Regency Mahogany Wardrobe, Circa 1815. In the Manner of Henry Holland.

75 in. (190.5 cm.) high, 23 in. (58.5 cm.) wide, 97 in. (246.5 cm.) deep

The central section with a pediment top and six drawers, flanked by cabinets with scrolling pediments and paneled doors.

This cabinet shows the marked influence of Henry Holland, architect to the Prince Regent from the late 1780s, who worked at both Carlton House and the Royal Pavilion, Brighton. He was the leading proponent of the French taste and in association with the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre, Holland purchased French neo-Classical furniture for the Prince Regent, and it was French designers such as Weisweiler and Jacob who were to be most influential on Holland’s own work.
