FAQs

The bergere chair originated in France during the early 18th century as an enclosed, upholstered armchair designed for comfort, evolving through various neoclassical and Victorian iterations.

Traditional construction typically involves a solid hardwood frame, such as mahogany or beech, combined with hand-woven cane panels along the back and sides for structural breathability.

Authentic pieces often exhibit traditional joinery techniques, hand-carved wooden details, natural cane ageing, and patination consistent with age rather than machine-made uniformity.

Pair the traditional wooden frame and cane work with minimalist modern decor or textured neutral textiles to create a balanced focal point in a study or living space.

Maintain cane integrity by keeping it away from direct heat sources and occasionally dampening the underside with a clean sponge to prevent the natural fibres from becoming brittle.
