French 19th Century Mahogany Col De Cygne Bergere

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
This fabulous col de cygne bergere was crafted in France circa 1810! In good antique condition with signs of wear consistent with over 200 years of use. Deeply toned, patinated mahogany frames beautifully compliment the stunning green velvet upholstery. Embossed with laurel wreaths and floral forms for a smart but whimsical design with floral border. The arms feature intricately hand-carved swan forms with detailed wings on the interior and exterior; a unique and intentional characteristic. Distinctive front legs with claw feet create a cohesive design. The cushions retain the original horsehair cushioning and tan and white gingham fabric backing. Comfortable and chic, this bergere is eye-catching in any living space. Removing the bottom cushion reveals the original vibrant tone of the fabric, a glimpse into the past! Seat height is 14-¾”. Make sure to view the detailed images for a closer look at this wonderful pair of armchairs!
