Regency furniture, dating roughly from 1811 to 1820, is characterised by classical influences derived from ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, often featuring dark woods like mahogany, elegant proportions, and restrained decorative elements.

Bergere armchairs typically feature a solid hardwood frame, most commonly mahogany or walnut, combined with woven cane panels on the sides and back, and loose upholstered cushions filled with traditional materials like horsehair and wool.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails and tenons, natural ageing of the timber, hand-woven cane with minor irregularities, and brass castors affixed with hand-forged screws.

An antique armchair serves as a sophisticated focal point in a contemporary room when paired with minimalist surroundings, modern neutral textiles, or juxtaposed against clean architectural lines to create depth and character.

Preservation involves keeping the timber nourished with microcrystalline wax, treating leather periodically with appropriate conditioners to prevent cracking, and protecting the piece from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations.
