Tim Sidford (Sweetington) commented about this Recency Chinese room box, “To be honest I’ve outgrown the place.”
For miniature enthusiasts, the Regency Era in the United Kingdom was brief, only nine years. King George III was deemed unfit to rule and his son, the Prince of Wales, ruled as Prince Regent. On the death of his father in 1820, the Prince Regent became George IV.
