A Regency-style wall bracket is a decorative wall-mounted shelf or support that originated during the Regency period in England (1811-1820), which was a distinctive phase in the Georgian architecture and design. It typically features elegant and elaborate designs with classical motifs such as scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and Greek or Roman-inspired elements. These wall brackets were often made from luxurious materials like mahogany, giltwood, or brass, and were used to display decorative objects, vases, or small sculptures. The Regency style embraced neoclassical influences and sought to create an atmosphere of refinement and sophistication.
