FAQs

A bergere is a French upholstered armchair characterised by an exposed wooden frame and enclosed upholstered sides. Originating in the eighteenth century during the Louis XV period, these chairs feature cabriole legs, sinuous curves, and carved timber crests.

Authentic period examples feature carved solid hardwood frames, typically walnut, beech, or fruitwood. Upholstery traditionally uses natural fibres, horsehair padding, and decorative brass nailhead trim along the frame edges.

Look for hand-carved floral or acanthus leaf motifs, wooden peg joinery, and tool marks on the underside of the frame. Original construction often shows evidence of hand-tied springs, traditional hessian webbing, and natural wear across the carved armrests.

A bergere chair serves as an accent piece in a living space, bedroom, or study. Placing it alongside contemporary side tables or neutral linen textiles balances historic woodwork with modern minimalist decor.

Dust the wooden frame using a clean microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically to preserve the timber finish. Vacuum the upholstered fabric gently with a brush attachment, avoiding chemical solvents on period textiles.
