Description:
This is a fine quality antique English George V three-piece double cane solid oak bergère suite, circa 1920, which has been recently upholstered to a professional standard, in good condition. The oak bergère suite comprises of a three-seat couch with two armchairs. Having a rectangular design to the frame of the suite, with a straight top rail with scroll-ends, secured by elegant shaped scroll end arms, incorporating carved acanthus leaves, with shaped vertical supports and a blind fretwork caved frieze, which terminates on scroll toe feet, decorated with shell carvings. The suite retains the original twin panel cane-work to the sides of the arms and single panel cane work to the back, which are in excellent original condition. There are no holes or lose sections to the cane work (it is rare to see a bergère suite where the cane work is in excellent condition). The oak bergère suite is of good seat height; it does not sit too low, like other bergere suites you see in the market place. The bergère suite has been recently upholstered (at some point in the past), to a professional standard, in top quality and hard-wearing pale gold rayon taffeta upholstery; finished with matching pale gold rope cord to the cushions and chair frames. We have stuffed the cushions with new feathers, so they are plump and ensure sufficient support and enable them to be extremely comfortable to sit on. The seat bases and backs of the seat have been upholstered with matching fabric. All cushion covers feature Velcro so that the covers can be removed if they need to be cleaned. The oak bergère suite features a firm sprung base below, which makes the suite frame supportive. The suite seats up to five people comfortably. This is a very comfortable bergère suite due to the deep design of the frame.
This oak bergère suite would look superb in a variety of rooms from the living room to the conservatory or orangery. The suite would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it is extremely functional. So don’t miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
The oak frame boasts a lovely mellow golden colour. The frame has been cleaned and French polished by hand to a professional standard in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination is of an excellent standard, coupled with the years of care and cleaning they have received.
