FAQs

A bergere is an upholstered French armchair featuring an exposed, carved wooden frame and enclosed upholstered armrests. Originating in 18th-century France, it was designed specifically for comfort and relaxed seating.

These armchairs typically feature frames carved from dense hardwoods such as beechwood or walnut, finished with painted or gilded gesso. Traditional upholstery utilizes coil springs, natural webbing, horsehair stuffing, and heavy fabrics like velvet or linen.

Authentic pieces feature curved cabriole legs, asymmetrical floral or acanthus leaf relief carving along the apron and knees, pegged mortise and tenon wood joinery, and an integrated, fitted seat cushion.

A painted bergere works effectively as an accent piece alongside contemporary clean-lined sofas or placed in a bedroom, dressing room, or reading nook to provide contrast between classical craftsmanship and modern minimalism.

Dust the upholstered surfaces regularly using a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner. Clean the painted frame gently with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading of the textile dye and drying of the timber frame.
