FAQs

A bergere is an enclosed upholstered armchair with an exposed wooden frame, originating in France during the early 18th century. Over subsequent centuries, various iterations incorporated caning and caster wheels to suit evolving domestic and commercial interiors.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, featuring traditional joinery, hand-woven cane panels, and leather upholstery secured with brass tacks.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-woven caning for irregularities, checking timber patina and grain, inspecting joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon, and verifying the presence of period-appropriate hardware and casters.

This piece works effectively as a statement desk chair in a home study or paired with contemporary minimalist furniture to introduce texture, warmth, and historical contrast.

Maintain the timber and leather by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying appropriate wax polishes periodically, and cleaning cane panels gently with a soft brush.
