A Regency-style bergère refers to a type of armchair that originated during the Regency era in early 19th century England. The term "bergère" is derived from the French word for "shepherdess" and denotes a type of upholstered chair with closed sides and a high back, usually padded and cushioned for comfort. The Regency-style bergère typically features delicate, elegant lines with graceful curves, and often includes detailed carvings on the wooden frame. The upholstery is typically done with luxurious fabrics, such as silk or velvet, and can be adorned with decorative elements like tufting or nailhead trim. These chairs were popular during the Regency period and continue to be sought after as luxurious and stylish seating options for formal living spaces.
