Interior Design in the Regency:
• The style has its origins in the Neoclassicism of the late
eighteenth century and draws its form from Greek and Roman
precedents with a mixture of elements drawn from more exotic
sources—Egyptian, Chinese, and Moorish.

inconsistent vacillation between the restraint of classicism and
the exuberance of fantasy.

learning from the past and in borrowing elements to be used in a new
context.
