A bergère is an enclosed upholstered
French armchair (fauteuil) with an upholstered back
and armrests on upholstered frames. The seat frame is
over-upholstered, but the rest of the wooden framing
is exposed: it may be molded or carved, and of beech
painted or gilded or of fruitwood, walnut or mahogany
with a waxed finish. Padded elbow rests may stand upon
the armrests. A bergère is fitted with a loose, but
tailored, seat cushion. It is designed for lounging in
comfort, with a deeper wider seat than that of a
regular fauteuil, though the bergères by Bellange in
the White house (one illustrated) are more formal. A
bergère in the eighteenth century was essentially a
meuble courant, designed to be moved about to suit
convenience, rather than being ranged permanently
formally along the walls as part of the decor.
The fanciful name, "shepherdess chair", was coined in
mid-eighteenth century Paris, where the model
developed without a notable break from the
late-seventeenth century chaise de commodité, a
version of the wing chair, whose upholstered "wings"
shielding the face from fireplace heat or from
draughts were retained in the bergère à oreilles
("with ears"), or, fancifully, bergère confessionale,
as if the occupant were hidden from view. A bergère
may have a flat, raked back, in which case it is à la
reine, or, more usually in Louis XV furnishings, it
has a coved back, en cabriolet. A bergère with a low
coved back that sweeps without a break into the
armrests is a marquise.
Appearing first in Paris during the Régence (1715-23),
the form reaches its full development in the unifying
curves of the rococo style, then continues in a more
architectural rectilinear stye in the Louis XVI,
Directoire, and French and American Empire styles. |
