scottish regency mahogany bergere or library chair

Circa 1815, Scottish Regency mahogany bergere or library chair. With a mahogany frame, it has a reeded, curved top rail with uprights either side that continue down to form the arms.
The end of the arms are slightly rounded and held in place by a turned and tapering column. There are bergere panels on the back, the sides and the seat and 2 leather cushions made later, specifically for the chair. A simple apron continues around the back, with the back legs turned and slightly outswept whilst the front legs turn, taper and finish on a large brass bezel and brass castors. Examples of this style of chair can be seen in The Edinburgh Directory of Furniture by Dr. Jones.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
