An Introduction to the Brighton Pavilion Chair
The Brighton Pavilion chair, also known as the Palm Springs Regency favorite, is a unique and sophisticated piece of furniture. It is made from intricately carved bamboo and rattan materials, which give it a Chippendale style of fretwork.

The History of the Brighton Pavilion Chair
The Brighton Pavilion chair has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century. It was initially introduced in the popular seaside resort town of Brighton, England. These chairs were designed by John Nash for the Royal Pavilion, a magnificent palace built for King George IV. The chairs were created with the Prince Regent's exotic tastes in mind, featuring Oriental-inspired designs, intricate carvings, and gilded details.
The Influence of the Brighton Pavilion Chair
The Brighton Pavilion chair became a symbol of upper-class living during the Indo-Anglo era of décor. It introduced the use of rattan and bamboo to Europe and North America, offering a less formal alternative to the traditional brown wood furniture that was popular at the time. In the late 19th century, the chair gained wide popularity in the United States and became an eclectic addition to the art nouveau movement as it transitioned into the Art Deco era.
