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.

Set of Six Antique French Sarreguemines Majolica Fruit Plates, 1890
Located in Coral Gables, FL
An exceptional set of six antique French majolica fruit plates produced by Sarreguemines during the Belle Époque, one of the most celebrated periods in the history of French decorative arts. Each plate features a distinct fruit composition rendered in high relief, including strawberries, grapes, peaches, pears and other orchard fruits, emerging from richly modeled foliage that creates a remarkable sense of depth and movement across the surface. The hand-applied glazes display the warm ochre, green and burgundy tones characteristic of late nineteenth-century French majolica, while the finely detailed modeling reflects the technical sophistication for which the Sarreguemines workshops became internationally renowned. Founded in Lorraine in the eighteenth century, Sarreguemines played a central role in the development of French faience and majolica...
