More About This Item:
Lushly upholstered and dramatically contoured, this mid-century French-style bergère chair by Meyer Gunther Martini offers the kind of timeless glamour that never goes out of style. The rich coral moiré silk upholstery exudes a quiet opulence, while the generously padded seat invites hours of relaxed lounging. A floral-carved crest crowns the chair’s curvaceous frame, crafted in the Louis XV tradition with flowing lines and hand-finished woodwork.

Perfectly scaled for a reading nook, sitting room, or bedroom corner, this silk side chair brings Old World sophistication into any setting – you’ll feel like a de Medici in the making! Whether you choose to reupholster or preserve its original fabric, this bergère chair makes a statement while delivering comfort and craftsmanship in equal measure.

Rooted in 18th-century French design, the bergère chair is known for its enclosed upholstered sides and elegant lines. This particular piece channels the Louis XV style with its scroll arms, cabriole legs, and floral detailing—balanced here by mid-century tailoring and vibrant silk. It's ideal for Parisian-inspired interiors, vintage maximalism, or layered traditional-modern spaces.
