Louis XVI period shepherdess
Louis XVI bergères are distinguished from other 18th century armchairs by their comfort. While other seats have little upholstery, bergères are well padded in the seats, backrest and armrests, which are full.
The antique Louis XVI style armchairs in the bergère model are available in five models:
- The gondola armchair with a rounded back without ears, rests on tapered legs with rudentate fluting.
- The winged or eared shepherdess, the most common model also called “confessional shepherdess”
- The Marie-Antoinette shepherdess does not have ears, but a shaped back with a slight curve.
- The bergère with lambrequin, its back is in the shape of an overhanging crosier.
- The Pompadour or hot air balloon armchair, its armrest is curved and its back is rounded.
A Louis XVI style armchair
The shape of the Louis XVI armchair is in opposition to the Louis XV style seats; it rejects the rocaille forms of the Louis XV style, and it returns to rigor with inspired geometric lines.
Having spanned the centuries with its timeless shape and elegance, the Louis 16 armchair is one of the most stylish pieces of furniture of all time. Originally created by cabinetmaker Georges Jacob in the XNUMXth century, this reproduction of a period armchair is perfect for your decor to give it a touch of originality, no matter the style of your interior.
The bergère has straight and geometric lines, connecting dice at the corners of the seat accentuate the classic aspect of the style. The ornaments are numerous and finely worked, with motifs inspired by Antiquity which include fluting (feet and uprights), acanthus leaves, etc.
The Louis XVI armchairs sold in our furniture store are reproductions of period models. They are made of solid wood, like the antique seats of the 18th century. The structures are worked and carved by hand, the fabrics that cover them are nailed in the old-fashioned way with upholsterer's nails.
These are wide armchairs with comfortable seat depths. The legs are straight, tapered and fluted. The seat heights of the armchairs are perfect for the living room around a Louis XVI sofa.
