FAQs

The bergA re chair originated in France during the early 18th century, specifically the Regency and Louis XV periods, designed as an evolution of the heavier armchairs of the previous century to offer a more enclosed and comfortable seat.

Authentic period pieces feature exposed wooden frames made from beech, walnut, or oak, often with carved floral motifs, mortise and tenon joinery, and traditional stuffing like horsehair supported by webbing and springs in later iterations.

Authenticity is determined by examining the wood grain, hand-carved detailing, joinery methods, signs of age-appropriate wear and oxidisation on the finish, and traditional upholstery tacking rather than modern staples.

These chairs work well as statement pieces in contemporary spaces by pairing them with minimalist modern sofas, neutral walls, and simple lighting to allow the ornate frame and patterned upholstery to serve as a focal point.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, and gently cleaning the wooden frame with a damp cloth without harsh chemical polishes.
