FAQs

The bergere is a type of enclosed upholstered armchair originating in France during the early 18th century, designed for maximum comfort with a padded back and armrests integrated into the wooden frame.

Authentic period bergere chairs are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like walnut or beech, featuring hand-woven cane panels on the back and sides, accompanied by loose feather or down seat cushions.

Authentication involves inspecting the joinery for period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, examining the aging of the wood and lacquer, and checking the tightness and regularity of the hand-woven cane work.

These armchairs serve as sophisticated focal points when paired with minimalist contemporary sofas, creating a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and clean, modern lines.

Preservation requires keeping the furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood and lacquer from cracking, while cleaning cane gently with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain elasticity.
