FAQs

The bergere chair originated in France during the early 18th century, characterised by its enclosed upholstered sides and loose seat cushion, evolving through various classical revival periods.

Traditional construction typically involved a carved hardwood frame finished with gesso and gold leaf, often featuring cane work panels on the sides and back beneath traditional upholstery.

Authentication relies on examining the joinery, the composition of the gesso and bole beneath the gold leaf, hand-carved detailing, and natural wear patterns consistent with age.

These chairs function effectively as statement accent pieces in formal reception rooms or libraries, contrasting traditional ornamentation with minimalist modern surrounds.

Giltwood requires careful handling, protection from direct sunlight, and gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth without chemical polishes to preserve the fragile metallic leaf finish.
