FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France during the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods, the bergere sofa or daybed was designed with an enclosed frame and upholstered or caned sides for comfort and draft protection.

Traditional construction features solid carved hardwoods such as beech, oak, or walnut, combined with hand-woven rattan cane panels and natural textile upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved decorative elements, fluted tapered legs, mortise and tenon joint construction, and hand-threaded cane work showing age-appropriate patination.

Place the sofa as a central focal point in a living room, hallway, or garden room, layering it with neutral linen cushions and textured throws to complement contemporary decor.

Clean carved wooden frames using a dry soft-bristle brush, and lightly mist the cane panels with water occasionally to maintain elasticity and prevent cracking.
