Early 1900s French Antique French Provincial Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass
Ceramic
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.

Large Antique Copper Lidded Pitcher with Curved Handle
Located in LA CIOTAT, FR
This unusual large copper pitcher dates from the 19th century and is distinguished by its elegant proportions, substantial size and beautifully aged surface. The vessel has a tall tapered body with a broad rounded shoulder rising into a narrow neck and pronounced pouring spout. A long curved copper handle extends from the upper section to the shoulder, completing its graceful and highly recognizable silhouette. Particularly appealing is the original hinged copper lid, shaped to follow the sloping opening of the pitcher and fitted with a thumb-operated lifting mechanism positioned above the handle. The construction and numerous subtle irregularities visible throughout the piece give it the unmistakable character of antique utilitarian copperware. The surface has developed a wonderfully rich natural patina over time, combining warm reddish copper and golden tones with darker areas of oxidation and occasional traces of verdigris. Scratches, small dents, surface variations and other signs of use remain visible and are entirely consistent with the vessel’s age and utilitarian history. With its large scale, warm color and sculptural form, this antique copper pitcher...
