Furniture had stopped evolving in design and had moved back to classical forms. The pioneer designers who represented this period were: Thomas Hope (1770-1831),  George Smith (1804-28), Henry Holland (1745 - 1806) George IV had a major influence over the furniture makers of the time. This period saw the introduction of brass to wood from the previous marquetry that had been originally used. The sofa table was also introduced. The main features of the Regency period furniture were their simplicity, with straight, unbroken surfaces and lines.  Cuban Mahogany Swietenia mahagoni, the "Wood of Kings".  Swietenia mahagoni is the wood that planked the ships of the Spanish Armada.  Thomas Sheraton, Thomas Chippendale, and Duncan Phyfe chose Cuban Mahogany for their furniture.  It has been among the most prized and valuable timbers since the late 16th century..  As its reputation grew, the supply of wood shrank. As timber harvest methods became more sophisticated, the inaccessible trees became lumber.  By the mid 1700's it was becoming scarce.  By the mid 1800's good lumber was becoming rare.  By the late 1800's the species had been logged into genetic impoverishment and commercial extinction.
