FAQs

The bergere chair originated in France during the early 18th century as an enclosed, upholstered armchair designed for comfort, later evolving through various revival periods in Britain.

These chairs typically feature a solid hardwood frame, most commonly mahogany or walnut, combined with woven cane panels and upholstered seat cushions.

Authentication involves examining traditional joinery techniques, hand-woven cane work, patination on the timber, and period-appropriate hardware such as brass castors.

Pairing the historic wooden frame with minimalist modern surroundings creates a deliberate contrast, highlighting the craftsmanship while maintaining functional seating.

Maintenance includes keeping the cane hydrated with damp cloths in dry environments, avoiding direct sunlight, and protecting the timber with microcrystalline wax.
