Design Inspiration
The SALCHA1970 Bergère draws its spirit from the refined interiors of Louis XVI France, where graceful symmetry, restrained ornament, and superb comfort defined aristocratic living. Brass & Wood's artisans have faithfully reinterpreted this neoclassical icon, preserving every hallmark — from the arched crested rail adorned with hand-carved floral rosettes to the elegantly tapered and fluted legs that anchor the composition with quiet authority.
Materials & Upholstery
The frame is constructed from seasoned solid hardwood, shaped and hand-carved in our Egyptian workshops to replicate the delicate scrollwork, acanthus-leaf armrest brackets, and dentil-banded seat rail of the original period. The seat cushion is upholstered in a luxurious ivory-ground damask, its classic medallion motif rendered in soft sage and warm sand tones. The inner back and outer side panels are dressed in a crisp off-white linen fabric, while the backrest features authentic button-tufted (capitonné) detailing that adds depth and tactile richness. The wood is finished in a warm medium-brown hand-rubbed tone that highlights the carved relief without overpowering it.
Craftsmanship
Every Brass & Wood piece is handcrafted from start to finish by trained artisans in Egypt. The carving, upholstery, and finishing processes are executed entirely by hand, ensuring that each chair carries the subtle individuality that only human skill can impart. No two pieces are absolutely identical — a mark of true handcraft heritage.
