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.

Antique Saint-Clément French Faience Rooster Sculpture, 1900-1930
Antique Saint-Clément French Faience Rooster Sculpture, 1900-1930

Antique Saint-Clément French Faience Rooster Sculpture, 1900-1930

Located in Coral Gables, FL

A wonderful antique French faience rooster figure attributed to Saint-Clément, one of the historic ceramic manufactories of eastern France known for expressive majolica, animal figures, and richly colored decorative earthenware. This sculptural piece depicts a standing rooster with proud upright posture, molded feather detail, and a lively hand-painted palette of golden yellow, warm brown, cream, green, and dark charcoal tones. The figure has the charm and theatricality typical of French country majolica. The rooster’s chest is modeled with raised feathering, the tail curves upward with dark glazed accents, and the base is finished in deep green, giving the piece both stability and decorative contrast. The glaze has that rich, slightly glossy surface associated with French faience and majolica production, where color and texture were used to bring domestic animal forms to life. Saint-Clément produced many whimsical and highly collectible animal pieces for the French home, especially during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Roosters are especially symbolic in French decorative arts, connected to rural life, the kitchen, the table, and the French countryside. This piece works beautifully as a collectible object, kitchen accent, shelf piece, or part of a curated group of French faience, majolica, or country house ceramics. Presented in antique condition consistent with age and use, with natural glaze variation and light wear appropriate to earthenware of this period. A charming and characterful French ceramic rooster...
