Antique Regency dining tables were first produced during the reign of George IV although the style has continued to be reproduced, and to influence designs, right up until the present day. These tables were often made of mahogany or burr walnut and featured rosewood and zebra-wood veneers, brass decorations, metal paws and lion masks and they were considerably more elaborate than the previous generation of furniture.

Characterized by clean lines, graceful proportions, and classical motifs, Regency dining tables embody the elegance and refinement of the early 19th century.
