The Regency period was inspired by Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798 and the artistic culture of that exotic land. Shortly after Napoleon’s conquest, that same year Britain defeated Napoleon at the Battle of the Nile. This led to a craze in Britain of all things Egyptian and, in fact, of all foreign motifs — especially those of Greco-Roman influence.

The magnificent table in our collection is an interpretation of a century-piece built in the late 19th century to replicate the style of the most famous designer of the Regency period 100 years earlier: Thomas Hope.
