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

Originating in eighteenth-century France, the bergere is an upholstered armchair featuring an exposed timber frame. During the Regency and Victorian eras, British cabinetmakers adapted the design to incorporate woven cane backrests and sides, combining lightweight ventilation with structural support.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or rosewood, paired with hand-woven rattan cane panels. The seats feature upholstered cushions filled with traditional padding, resting on turned wood legs with brass castors.

Authentic period examples display hand-split rattan weaving, mortise and tenon joinery, and original brass castors secured to turned or reeded front legs. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-sawn timber framing and historical wear across the wooden jointing.

A caned bergere chair serves as a functional accent piece in a contemporary living room, study, or bedroom reading corner. Pair it with a simple floor lamp and a neutral wool throw to balance historic woodwork with contemporary textiles.

Maintain the cane panels by keeping the chair away from direct heat sources to prevent the rattan from drying out and snapping. Clean the mahogany frame with a soft microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax periodically to preserve the patinated timber finish.
