Description :
This refined pair of French bergère armchairs dates from the late 19th century (circa 1880–1900) and reflects the enduring elegance of the Louis XV style, reinterpreted during the Belle Époque. Characterized by their enveloping backs, padded arms, and generous seating, these bergères were designed for comfort as much as for refined decoration.
The frames are crafted from solid walnut, a traditional and highly regarded wood in French cabinetmaking, appreciated for its strength, fine grain, and warm honey-toned patina. The softly curved cabriole legs, flowing arm supports, and gently contoured seat rails display restrained carving typical of quality late 19th-century production, favoring elegant lines over excessive ornamentation.
The armchairs retain their original structure and proportions, with decorative brass nailhead trim outlining the upholstery. They are currently upholstered in a yellow patterned fabric that shows visible wear, fading, and age-related marks. These bergères are offered to be fully reupholstered, providing an excellent opportunity to personalize them with a fabric of choice, whether classical, neutral, or contemporary.
Structurally sound and well-balanced, this pair would be ideal for a living room, bedroom, library, or refined hospitality interior. Once reupholstered, they will regain their full decorative impact while preserving their authentic late 19th-century French character.
