The Bergere chair will be 300 years old by the end of this decade and it looks more stylish than ever before–especially in Safavieh’s update.  First created in Paris in the 1720s, this classic chair by now is more than a French tradition—it is beloved around the world. The word bergere translates to “shepardess in French, but it was nobility not the commoners who first loved the design. Originally Bergeres were gilded and covered in fine silk damasks in the jacquard weave.  But the styling has morphed over the years to whitewashed finishes and pale woods that complement today’s casual homes.

Bergere Arm Chair

Safavieh’s version is packed with details that are common to prized antique bergeres: Bergeres always have an upholstered back and an upholstered seat crowned with the famous loose cushion top. Like the finest specimens ours has upholstered arms and a gently curved wooden frame.

A favorite for French Country decorating, consumers prefer less formal linen fabrics and pale wood finishes, which is exactly what Safavieh’s bergere delivers at one of the most incredible values on the planet. Ask your sales rep for pricing.
