FAQs

A bergere is an upholstered or caned French armchair with an enclosed frame, originating in the early eighteenth century during the Louis XV period to offer comfort and draught protection.

Traditional bergere frames are constructed from hardwoods such as beech, walnut, or fruitwood, featuring carved details, painted or gilded finishes, and woven rattan cane or textile upholstery.

Look for characteristic Louis XV elements such as serpentine frames, fluid asymmetrical Rococo carvings, splayed cabriole legs, and visible joinery or pegging along the wooden frame.

Position the armchair as an accent piece alongside contemporary neutral textiles, sleek side tables, or minimalist decor to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain cane seating by dusting regularly with a soft brush, keeping it away from direct heat sources to prevent brittleness, and occasionally humidifying the reverse side with a damp cloth to retain flexibility.
