Design & Inspiration
The SALCHA1973 bergère draws directly from the exuberance of French Louis XV style, a period celebrated for its graceful curves, shell-and-scroll carvings, and intimate seating forms. Brass & Wood reinterprets this 18th-century masterpiece by pairing its sinuous ivory-lacquered frame with a bold tropical floral upholstery — a juxtaposition of Old-World craftsmanship and vibrant contemporary pattern that makes this chair an instant focal point in any living room.
Materials & Upholstery
The chair's solid wood frame is finished in a warm ivory lacquer with subtle antiqued accents, revealing the sculptural quality of each hand-carved detail. The upholstery fabric features a sky-blue ground alive with golden tropical foliage, burnt-orange orchids, and illustrated leopards, giving the chair an unmistakable character. A coordinating kidney-shaped cushion is included, and the seat cushion is filled for a firm yet comfortable sit.
Craftsmanship
Every element of this bergère is handcrafted at the Brass & Wood atelier in Egypt. Skilled artisans carve the cabriole legs, shaped apron, and crested top-rail by hand before applying multiple coats of lacquer. Upholsterers then hand-cut and hand-stitch the fabric to ensure precise pattern placement across every surface. The result is a piece of functional art that will endure for generations.
Styling Notes
Pair with a gilded side table and neutral linen drapes for a classic salon look, or use as a bold accent against a dark feature wall. The tropical motif also complements eclectic and maximalist interiors with ease.
