Rustic Decorative Bowls
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 Adirondack furniture and the low-slung 1903 Thomas Lee Adirondack chair.
Rustic design is perhaps mostly about texture and humble materials: hand-hewn reclaimed 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 wares help bring the beauty of the outdoors inside.
As you can see on 1stDibs, vintage rustic chairs, dining tables and other pieces of rustic furniture offer endless inspiration.

Large 19th Century Burl Walnut Bowl with Iron Repairs and Handles
Located in Atlanta, GA
A substantial 19th-century carved burl walnut bowl with a powerful rustic presence, generous proportions, and layered history. Measuring approximately 29.75 inches wide, 25.5 inches deep, and 7 inches high, this oval vessel was hewn from a single piece of dense walnut and bears the textured marks of time and repeated use.
The surface is worn smooth from handling, yet still retains areas of rugged character—tool marks, subtle variations in tone, and a visible patched repair in hammered iron on one side. A second repair is visible underneath, where iron straps were applied across an old split—evidence of the piece’s practical value and the care taken to preserve it. Flat-handled grips at either end are integrated into the carved form, enhancing functionality without interrupting the clean silhouette.
Ideal as a dramatic centerpiece or sculptural accent on a farmhouse table or console, this antique bowl...
