Features

The Regency was a period of strong social, political and stylistic changes. New methods and machines have been developed and patented. Through materials such as cast iron and other new industries emerged fundamentally altered by the application. The building trade was entirely new possibilities through the cast iron. The engineer became more important, who lost the architect. With the development of substitute materials such as concrete, the Coade Stone, Sheffield plate or paper - mâché, disappeared traditional crafts such as the English carver, wood carver and wood sculptor. The development of cutting, planing, sawing and carving machines changed the work processes and the social life. The mechanization of the trade and of the household had an impact particularly on the development of society. The art of changing the craft, industry and the fashion sustainable.

In the transition from the 18th to the 19th century, many existing trends were further developed. In architecture took on former developments of the Gothic Revival or of classicism and developed them further. The Regency is characterized by a stylistic eclecticism and the juxtaposition of different styles. It thus marks the transition to Historicism in the Kingdom of Great Britain.
