About the Item

This elegant pair of French bergères dates from the 19th century and reflects the timeless sophistication of the Louis XVI style. Crafted in finely carved walnut, the frames feature neoclassical motifs, including fluted legs, rosettes on the corners, and a delicate ribbon twist along the armrests. Their design exemplifies the refined balance between ornamentation and restraint typical of the late 18th century, while their 19th century origin adds historical depth and authenticity. The high, contoured backs provide both comfort and presence, while the gently scrolled armrests lend charm and elegance. Upholstered in a soft light turquoise-blue fabric, the chairs are outlined with traditional nailhead trim that highlights the clean lines and the precision of the carving. The removable seat cushions are generously proportioned, ensuring comfort while maintaining practicality. One chair displays some minor signs of age, including slight fading and a few visible discoloration marks on the front panel of the upholstery. These imperfections remain discreet and do not detract from the overall beauty of the pair; instead, they add character and testify to their authenticity. The carved walnut frames are in very good condition, retaining their warm patina and finely detailed decoration. Perfect for a refined living room, library, or bedroom, this pair of bergères offers both artistry and comfort. Their harmonious blend of light upholstery and warm walnut tones makes them adaptable to classic or contemporary interiors. Whether placed together as a pair or used individually, they bring French refinement, history, and a distinguished neoclassical silhouette into any space.
