French Provincial More Dining and Entertaining
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.

Rare Handwoven MidCentury Rattan Basket for Kitchen Fruit & Bakery Bread Display
Located in Lisse, NL
Highly decorative and strong rattan basket with grapevine-like 'branches' all around.
This unique and all-handcrafted basket with a large handle has the most wonderful look and feel. Entirely handcrafted out of rattan, it is most likely of Dutch or French colonial origin and not a single nail or screw was used to create this incredibly stylish and durable basket. The robustness and the patina of this rare display basket combined with its aesthetically pleasing design makes it a real joy to own, use and to look at. The hand-woven double rattan, branch pattern all around the 'frame' makes this vintage basket extra special. We have searched the worldwide web up and down and there is not another one to be found. Not anywhere in the world. And what is amazing also, is that this hand-crafted rarity is in virtually mint condition. It is like an ode to nature and also to the maker of this fine quality workmanship basket. For us to have been given the chance to purchase this semi-antique again felt like a blessing. We are certain this basket will soon grace a large kitchen table...
