A bergere is a comfortable upholstered armchair characterised by enclosed wooden sides filled with woven cane. These seats often include a loose down or feather cushion. They emerged in French design and reappeared in various nineteenth and twentieth-century revival forms.

How do I date these chairs?

Examining secondary woods and fastening methods helps narrow down the decade of production.
