The style originated in France, but our Bergere furniture is expertly upholstered right here in the U.S.A. The chair's frame is crafted of maple hardwoods with hand-carved detailing. The seat has a heavy-duty, no-sag spring construction. To comprise the cushion's top and bottom layers, Blendown Plus (a combination of 50% grey goose down and waterfowl feathers and 50% polyester fiber) is sewn into a channeled, down-proof ticking envelope. A core of 1.8 density, 16 lb. compression foam with 2 oz. low melt polyester fiber laminate on both sides is then sandwiched within the envelope. Another mark of quality construction, the seat cushion is reversible for lasting beauty and even wear, as is the polyester-filled back cushion.
