The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, a bergere armchair is an enclosed seating form featuring a continuous timber frame that connects the backrest, armrests, and seat.

Traditional examples feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, combined with hand-woven rattan cane panels for the backrest, sides, and seat.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut cane weaving threaded through individual perimeter holes, mortise and tenon joinery, and hand-carved decoration on the legs and armrests.

Position the chair in a reading nook or conversational layout, pairing it with modern soft furnishings to highlight the exposed timber framework and textured woven cane.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax periodically, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent the woven cane from drying out or becoming brittle.
