Directoire Period Lacquered Beech Bergère Armchair (1795–1799)

This elegant Bergère armchair, crafted from beechwood and finished in its original pale green lacquer, embodies the refined craftsmanship of the late 18th century. Its design harmoniously blends strength and elegance: the rear sabre legs, typical of the era, contrast with the front "Jacob" legs, while the finely carved connecting blocks—each fitted with scrapers—support baluster-shaped uprights. The generous seat and reclined backrest provide exceptional comfort, enhancing both its practicality and aesthetic appeal.

Likely produced in a Parisian workshop, this Bergère showcases exceptional artistry. It is in excellent condition and newly upholstered in high-quality almond-green velvet, adding a touch of softness and modernity to its classic silhouette.
