Customizable Vintage French Provincial Bergère Chair

A beautifully shaped vintage bergère chair with carved wood detail, elegant Louis XV–inspired lines, and generous proportions. Featuring a sculpted exposed frame, upholstered sides, tufted inside back, and graceful cabriole legs, this piece offers both comfort and classic old-world character.

The Bergère chair emerged in the mid-18th century during the Louis XV period in France. It was designed for comfort, featuring enclosed upholstered back and arms and a deep seat to accommodate the voluminous fashions of the day. This specific chair is a late 19^th or early 20th-century revival piece, showcasing the enduring popularity of the French Provincial and Rococo aesthetic, with its cabriole legs and floral carvings.

The chair will be refinished and reupholstered using the materials chosen by the customer, allowing the finished piece to be tailored to your home and design vision. Its refined silhouette and carved detailing make it especially well-suited to living rooms, bedrooms, libraries, sitting rooms, and collected traditional interiors.

A one-of-a-kind restoration piece, thoughtfully finished to highlight comfort, craftsmanship, and enduring style.

Fabric and shipping are additional; local pickup in Philadelphia area available.
