This Regency library armchair dates from circa 1815 and adopts the bergere form, manufactured from beech with a faux rosewood finish in dark brown. The seat measures 84 cm high, 52 cm wide, and 57 cm deep, with a seat height of 16 inches. The piece integrates an arched top cresting rail above woven cane panels enclosing the back and sides, complemented by down-swept, rhythm-carved reeded armrests terminating on applied brass ball finials. The structure rests on saber legs fitted with brass cup casters and supports a removable loose seat cushion upholstered in pale green fabric decorated with a subtle floral pattern. Suitable for use in a gentleman's study, library, or living room, the armchair provides a functional seating option that pairs classical Regency design with traditional materials like rattan cane and hardwood. The open woven cane framework offers a light aesthetic balance while maintaining structural support through the curved wooden frame and stable saber leg configuration. The brass hardware elements, including the front finials and the castors on each leg, provide decorative and functional utility suited for periodic repositioning within a home interior.

FAQs

Emerging in the early 19th century, Regency bergere armchairs feature woven cane panels to the back and sides within a moulded wooden frame, designed for study seating.

Craftsmen utilised native hardwoods painted with decorative hand-graining techniques to imitate imported Brazilian rosewood, paired with woven rattan cane and brass castors.

Authentic Regency examples display characteristic design elements such as saber legs, brass castors, hand-woven cane mesh, and hand-painted faux-graining rather than modern finishes.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist desk or in a reading corner, pairing its detailed woodwork with neutral upholstery and modern floor lamps for contrast.

Dust the wooden frame using a dry microfibre cloth, gently vacuum the cane mesh with a soft brush attachment, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources.
