A bergere chair is a French-style armchair with upholstered arms and back. The term “bergere” comes from the French word for shepherdess, which was a common theme in 17th and 18th century French furniture. Reupholstering a bergere chair is not as difficult as it may seem, and can be done in a few simple steps.

First, remove the old fabric from the chair using a screwdriver or other sharp object to loosen the staples or tacks holding it in place. Next, measure the dimensions of the chair and cut new fabric to size. Be sure to allow extra fabric for tucking and pleating.

Once the new fabric is cut, begin attaching it to the frame of the chair, starting with the seat bottom and working your way up. Use a staple gun or upholstery tacks to secure the fabric in place. Finally, add any finishing touches like fringe or buttons, and enjoy your newly upholstered bergere chair!<\/p>\n \n
