Walnut Bergère Cane Fireside Chair and Footstool 1920/1930 - VIN562F
Back to Furniture > SeatingDescription
A Bergère (pronounced ber-jair) is a type of fautueil, or French armchair. The French Bergère chair made its debut in the late 17th century during Louis XIV’s reign in France. While originally created with a heavy design, they simplified and evolved into lighter designs during later centuries.
A Bergère is designed for lounging in comfort, with a deeper, wider seat. The hardwood frame is usually stained, painted, or even gilded. It can have carved detailing or be left plain. The wood is typically beech, fruitwood, walnut or mahogany.
An elegant example of a Bergere cane fireside chair from the 1920/1930's.
Constructed from solid Walnut with original panel cane work. This Berger chair is fitted with loose feather filled cushions with piped edges and has a sprung base VIN562F - slight damage to cane work as shown in images.
