Rustic Patio and Garden Furniture

RUSTIC STYLE

For some, the phrase “rustic style” suggests a house like “La Pitchoune,” the late chef Julia Child’s cottage in Provence, with its exposed wooden beams and well-worn antique furniture. For others, rustic furnishings and decor prompt images of a place like the Lake Placid Lodge in Upstate New York, with its stone fireplaces and knotty pine paneling. Indeed, rustic furniture design takes many forms: twig furniture, a plank trestle table, a hand-stitched quilt, a chandelier made of deer antlers.

The rustic style originated in the late 1800s in England, where it was heavily influenced by Romanticism. By the 20th century, it had spread to the United States, adopted by wealthy New Yorkers and the National Park Service alike. Although there are many categories of rustic furniture, one of the most popular and familiar manifestations of the style is the 1903 Thomas Lee Adirondack chair.

Rustic design is perhaps mostly about texture and humble materials: hand-hewn wood, woven rush seating, wrought iron, coarse stone and weathered metal. As a decor, it exudes warmth and honesty, while a single piece of countrified design adds an intriguing visual counterpoint in a sleek, modern environment.

Easily identifiable by its rough textures, earthy colors and natural materials, rustic furniture helps bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. As you can see on 1stDibs, rustic wares offer no end of inspiration.

American Vintage Cabin or Mountain Rustic Furniture All Original and Comfortable
Located in Chicago, IL
Not only is this Rustic American furniture great looking, but it also happens to be very comfortable without seat cushions. Typically, when we find old rustic mountain cabin furniture, it has been well used and is in need of immediate surgery, and we're usually too late. Most often this style of rustic furniture was used outdoors or in a screened-in porch, but there are no telltale signs of water damage. All we can say is that whoever had this cabin style table and chairs must have really loved them, for the condition is unbelievable for something at least 70 years old and never restored. The quality level in which this rustic mountain style...
