FAQs

The George III period spans the mid-to-late 18th century, characterised by refined classical proportions, architectural influences, and a transition from heavy mahogany to lighter, more elegant forms.

Bergere chairs typically feature a solid hardwood frame, most commonly mahogany or walnut, combined with woven cane panels for the back and sides, often accompanied by loose squab cushions.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, traditional cane weaving patterns with uniform strand tension, and natural patination on the timber consistent with age.

Pairing this historic seating with minimalist modern furnishings creates a balanced aesthetic, allowing the traditional wood tones and tactile cane texture to serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Maintain cane integrity by keeping the material away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, occasionally cleaning with a damp cloth and conditioning the timber with appropriate wax.
