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

A bergere tub chair, often termed a bergere en corbeille, is a French upholstered armchair characterised by a continuous curved backrest that wraps around to form the armrests, originating in 18th-century France.

These chairs are constructed with carved hardwood frames, such as beech or walnut, often finished with paint or gilding, and upholstered in woven fabrics like damask, velvet, or silk.

Authentic period pieces feature carved wooden frames with straight fluted or tapered turned legs, rosette mouldings at the corner joints, and linear channels along the crest rail and arm supports.

Position them opposite a contemporary sofa to establish a balanced conversation area, or place them individually in a bedroom or hallway to add classical texture and architectural form.

Dust the painted frame using a soft, dry microfibre cloth without liquid polish, and vacuum the fabric upholstery regularly on a low-suction setting with a soft brush attachment.
