This 19th-century Regency mahogany library bergere armchair combines dark brown leather upholstery with natural woven cane panels along the sides and back. The piece rests on turned and reeded front legs fitted with brass caps and castors, complemented by sabre back legs, while the arms terminate in carved scrolls. Measuring 107 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 83 cm deep, the chair includes loose back and seat cushions covered in dark brown leather with piped edges. Historic signs of woodworm are present and have been professionally treated, leaving the frame ready for everyday use. Practical and comfortable, the chair is suitable for placement in a traditional study, a home library, or a contemporary living space as a reading or occasional armchair. The dark brown leather contrasts with the warm tones of the mahogany frame and the pale cane inserts, creating a classic silhouette associated with the period. The restorer has checked over the structure to ensure stability while retaining the historical character of the timber and upholstery.

FAQs

Originating in the early 19th century, a Regency bergere armchair is characterised by a deep seat, exposed mahogany framing, and caned side or back panels paired with loose or fitted leather cushions.

These chairs feature solid mahogany timber frames, hand-woven rattan cane panels, brass castors, and natural leather or fabric upholstery filled with hair or feather padding.

Authentic Regency pieces exhibit hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, original cane weave patterns, reeded or turned leg details, and brass castors attached to the front legs.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist floor lamp and a low side table to create a functional reading area that contrasts historical wood framing with modern clean lines.

Dust the cane panels gently with a soft brush, apply a natural leather conditioner to the upholstery to prevent drying, and keep the chair away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
