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.

A library bergere chair is a traditional deep-seated armchair featuring exposed timber framing, often incorporating woven cane panels alongside upholstered leather or fabric cushions, designed originally for reading rooms.

These chairs were typically constructed with solid hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, hand-woven rattan cane panels, brass socket castors, and deep buttoned leather upholstery.

Authentic period pieces usually feature hand-carved details like reeded or turned front legs, woven cane lining, original brass castors, and natural wear or patination on the timber frame and leather upholstery.

Position the chair in a corner paired with a floor lamp and a small side table to create a reading nook, allowing the dark timber and warm leather tones to complement a modern neutral room palette.

Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and the cane from drying out, applying a specialist leather conditioner periodically.
