French Provincial Decorative Objects

FRENCH PROVINCIAL STYLE

Removed from the fashions of the court, French Provincial style developed in the provinces of the country, such as Provence, Normandy, the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. Dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, French Provincial furniture was not as ostentatious as the designs being produced for the royal palaces, but elegant S-shape cabriole legs and ornate carvings elevated the sturdy chairs, sofas, tables and bedroom furniture intended for everyday use.

Although it varies by region, antique French Provincial furniture is unified by solid construction and an artisanal attention to design. While this furniture often followed the metropolitan trends — including the Rococo or neoclassical aesthetics of Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI — since it was produced in the French countryside it was more subdued with nods to its rustic settings.

Local materials like fruitwoods, oak, beech and walnut were used to construct large French Provincial armoires for storage and comfortable armchairs with rush-woven seats. Wrought-iron elements and carvings like floral details and scallop patterns were common as ornamentation. Furniture was frequently painted white or other muted colors that coordinated with gilt and would acquire a patina of age over time. Other wood was just stained with vibrant fabric such as toile de Jouy, which sometimes depicted pastoral scenes, adding color as upholstery.

The style arrived in the United States after World War I, with soldiers returning home wanting furniture like what they had seen in the rural homes and castles of France. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, designer John Widdicomb split from his family business, the Widdicomb Furniture Company, and had been focusing on Louis XV– and French Provincial–style furnishings since the early 1900s. Other American manufacturers such as Baker, Drexel, Henredon and Thomasville also responded to demand. Today antique French Provincial pieces and reproductions continue to be popular.

Trio French Melon Cloches
Trio French Melon Cloches

Trio French Melon Cloches

Located in Faversham, GB

An interesting trio of Continental mouth blown melon cloches in differing sizes. The taller green model has a small iron hook going through the top, whilst the two clear models have molded tops. The glass on all three cloches is thick and the rims on all three have no cracks or splits. One model has a area missing to the top of the handle but is still perfectly functioning and is evident in the images supplied. Note that due to the nature of the mouth blown glass the clear cloches will seem slightly cloudy. This is within the glass and not on the outward surface of each. The trio make wonderful decorative pieces within the home or to be used back in the garden where they belong. Sold as a set of three cloches. Please note the table that the cloches rest on is available on another listing.

A rustic hand hammered Brass Milk Jug from Normandy, France, Circa 1850 A large piece of hand made brass used to transport milk from the country dairy to the home, often by donkey.
