FAQs

A bergere is an enclosed upholstered armchair with a wooden frame, originating in France during the early 18th century. It evolved to provide greater comfort than standard wooden chairs while maintaining formal elegance for drawing rooms and libraries.

Authentic bergere chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames such as mahogany, walnut, or beech. The back and sides are traditionally woven from natural cane or rattan, complemented by a loose or drop-in seat cushion filled with traditional materials like horsehair and upholstered in leather or fabric.

Authentication involves examining the joinery for period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints. Look for signs of age in the wood grain, hand-woven cane work with natural irregularities, and patination on the hardware and leather surfaces.

Pairing a classic bergere chair with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a balanced, eclectic aesthetic. It functions well as a reading chair in a living room or as an occasional desk chair, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as a focal point.

Maintain cane integrity by occasionally wiping it with a damp cloth to prevent the natural fibres from drying out and snapping. Treat leather seats with specialised leather conditioners, and keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood cracking and fading.
