Eighteenth-century France gave the world the bergère, an armchair with closed sides made for settling in with a book or a glass. Picture one in a country house near the château at Dampierre, south-west of Paris: tall windows, a fire going, an afternoon with nowhere to be. This chair is made for that kind of long, comfortable read. Its back and sides are filled with cane, and plump cushions of top grain leather sit loose on the seat and against the back, so you sink back rather than perch.
The frame is hardwood in a soft washed finish, and its open cane keeps the chair light to the eye. Because the cushions are loose, they can be lifted, plumped and turned. At 27 inches wide and 33 inches deep the chair gives plenty of room to curl up, and it is rated to hold 250 lbs.
Set it in a reading corner beside a floor lamp and a side table for a drink, or put a pair either side of a fireplace. It also brings a warm, quiet place to sit to a bedroom or a study. This listing is for one accent chair.
