Description

A stunning pair of antique French walnut bergère armchairs. They were made in France, they date from around the 1900-1910 period.

They are of outstanding quality, with amazing carving and beautiful walnut grain patterns. They are a lovely size and they are very comfortable, with nicely scooped out backs. The arms are beautifully scrolled, they sit on cabriole legs and have double caned panels. The cushions are feather filled and plump, adding to the comfort.

We have had the frame re-polished to a very high standard, they have been re-upholstered in a cream cotton fabric. The condition is excellent throughout, with a gorgeous patina to the frames.

FAQs

The bergere is an enclosed upholstered armchair with a wooden frame that originated in France during the early 18th century, becoming popular during the Regency and Louis XV periods for its comfort and enclosed sides.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut or beech, featuring hand-woven cane panels on the back and sides, intricate hand-carved floral motifs, and traditional joinery.

Authenticity is assessed through the patination of the wood, the tightness and uniformity of the hand-woven caning, traditional hand-cut joinery, and the absence of modern power-tool marks or synthetic adhesives.

These classic armchairs can be paired with contemporary minimalist sofas or placed in an empty corner as a statement piece, creating a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain antique wooden frames by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying high-quality beeswax periodically, while keeping them away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations to protect the cane and wood.
