The Louis XV bergère is a comfortable armchair with a low and deep seat. This highly sought-after seat is distinguished by its enveloping shapes.
The low feet take on a curved, doe-foot shape. The uprights and structure remain visible. It was invented around 1720 to become a very fashionable piece of furniture in the salons of the mid-18th century. Its price, generally high, depends on its aesthetics and its level of comfort. The eared shepherdess or Louis XV confessional shepherdess is made up of cheeks located on the upper arms. The backrest remains flat or very slightly curved.
