The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A Regency bergere armchair typically features an exposed timber frame, woven cane back and sides, a curved tub-shaped profile, and sabre legs, popularised in early 19th-century Britain.

Construction relied on dense hardwoods such as beech or mahogany treated with ebonising stains, paired with hand-woven cane panelling and cast brass fitments or castors.

Authentic period examples display precise joinery, hand-woven cane work, correctly proportioned sabre legs, period brass castors, and often specific stamped or handwritten maker marks.

The stark contrast of ebonised wood and woven cane integrates well into contemporary study spaces, living rooms, or modern libraries as a singular accent piece.

Dust the timber frame and woven cane using a soft brush, avoid exposing the cane to extreme dry heat, and keep brass components free from abrasive chemicals.
