A Pair of Rosewood Bergère Library Armchairs, English Circa 1825

19th century
Description

This rare and impressive pair of Bergere library armchairs has comfortable tub shaped cane backs that flow into carved, scrolled arms with upholstered green leather pads with a brass nailed boarder. They are supported by carved, shaped brackets that rise from the caned seat platform and are fitted with a green buttoned leather swab cushion. Below, the front legs are elegantly turned and carved with an inverted tulip design. Finished with original brass casters, the rear ones are of a simpler square form with a stylish back sweep, again with original brass cup casters.

These superb chairs have been bought from a private collection of fine furniture, and they have not been on the market for over 40 years. They are in excellent condition with good colour and patina. The leather upholstery is in excellent condition.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Originating in the early nineteenth century, a Regency bergere library armchair typically features an exposed wooden frame, woven cane back and sides, and padded armrests designed for reading comfort.

Armchairs from this era were frequently constructed from solid or veneered rosewood and mahogany, featuring hand-woven split cane panels, leather squab cushions, and brass castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved scroll arm supports, reeded or turned legs, period brass castors, and characteristic dark graining natural to aged rosewood timber.

Pairing dark wood armchairs with contemporary sofas or placing them alongside a minimalist bookcase creates a sophisticated contrast within study spaces or drawing rooms.

Rosewood frames require periodic application of natural beeswax to maintain timber moisture, while caned panels should be kept away from direct heat sources to prevent brittleness.
