A bergere is a traditional French enclosed upholstered armchair or sofa featuring wooden framing and typically cane or upholstered sides and back, originating in the early 18th century.

These suites typically utilise solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut for the carved frames, combined with cane webbing, horsehair stuffing, and high-quality damask or velvet upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit traditional joinery techniques, hand-carved wooden details, genuine cane work with natural ageing, and dense traditional stuffing materials rather than modern foam.

Pair the ornate wooden frames and patterned textiles with minimalist contemporary architectural backdrops, neutral walls, and sleek metal accents to create a balanced eclectic aesthetic.

Protect the wood and fabric from direct sunlight, regularly vacuum the upholstery using a soft brush attachment, and condition the exposed wooden frames with appropriate conservation wax.
