Early 1900s French Antique Rustic Decorative Objects
Terracotta
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.

Vintage Chinese Wicker Pig and Bird Baskets, Rattan, Handwoven, 1970s
Located in Coral Gables, FL
Pair of vintage Chinese animal-form wicker baskets, circa 1970s, handwoven in natural rattan, wicker, and bamboo reed with carved wood details. The set includes one small pig basket with a rounded lidded body, carved snout, ears, tail, and removable top, together with one bird basket featuring a sculptural body, long raised tail, fitted lid, carved beak, and woven feather detailing. Both pieces reflect the tradition of Chinese decorative animal basketry from the mid to late 20th century, when handwoven natural-fiber objects were widely produced as functional containers with strong sculptural character. The pig basket has a compact, rounded form with a fitted lid that opens to reveal a small interior compartment, ideal for trinkets, small objects, or decorative storage. The bird basket has a more elongated silhouette, with its lifted tail and carved beak giving the piece movement and personality from every angle. The contrast between the two animal forms makes the pair especially charming as a collected set, balancing playful folk character with handmade craftsmanship. Today, this pair of vintage Chinese wicker animal...
