FAQs

A bergere is an enclosed upholstered armchair with a wooden frame, originating in France during the early 18th century and evolving through various neoclassical periods.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, cane-work back panels, leather-upholstered seats, and brass hardware or castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-carved details, natural timber patination, and hand-woven cane work rather than machine-extruded alternatives.

Positioning the chair as a standalone accent piece or pairing it with a contemporary minimalist desk creates a striking contrast that highlights its historical craftsmanship.

Keep the timber and leather conditioned with appropriate professional waxes or balms, maintain moderate indoor humidity to prevent the cane from drying out, and avoid direct sunlight.
