Originally patented in 1742 by Benjamin Franklin, the regency enjoys a pedigree unmatched by any other stove. It was designed at a time when America was still a British colony and its proportions were undoubtedly influenced by Franklin's extended visits to Georgian London. With the doors open and a fire burning, the regency's large firebox produces the atmosphere of a traditional open fireplace. When closed, the airflow is controlled, the fire burns longer and the handsome Georgian door panels are fully exposed.

The Regency is supplied in three sizes. A pair of polished brass balls are supplied with each stove and a brass rail set is available as an optional accessory. Cast into the side panel of every Regency is a support bracket into which a barbecue or bean pot may be fixed. Each of these is manufactured from cast iron and is supplied complete with a swinging arm which locates into the support bracket.
