French Empire Bergère Chairs
About the Item
The beautiful design of this pair of French upholstered bergère chairs exemplifies the artistry and elegance of the Empire period. Exhibiting perfect proportions, the chairs are enhanced by royal blue upholstery and carved mahogany with symmetrical foliate motifs. The Empire period is famous for the sophistication and austerity of its objects, as Napoleon Bonaparte embraced neoclassical design as a demonstration of power and permanence. The style remained in favor for decades, influencing British Regency and American Federal furniture styles.
