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 bergere is an upholstered armchair with an exposed timber frame that originated in 18th-century France. During the 19th century, variations featuring caned backs and sides became popular across Europe for library and drawing room seating.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames made from mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, paired with hand-woven rattan cane panels. They often incorporate brass castors, turned legs, and removable upholstered cushions.

Look for signs of hand-carving along the timber frame, hand-woven cane work with slight natural irregularities, period-appropriate brass castors, and traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints beneath the seat rail.

Place the chair alongside a contemporary side table or reading lamp to create an eclectic reading corner. Combining the natural texture of the woven cane with modern upholstery fabrics bridges traditional and modern design aesthetics.

Keep the timber frame dust-free using a soft, dry cloth and apply clear natural beeswax sparingly. To prevent the woven cane from drying out or splitting, maintain stable indoor humidity levels and position the item away from direct heat sources.
