French Provincial Rugs and Carpets
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.

Distressed Vintage Turkish Sivas Rug
Located in Dallas, TX
51941 Distressed Vintage Red Turkish Sivas Rug, 03'10 x 06'09. Distressed Turkish Sivas rugs are traditional rugs originating from Sivas in central Anatolia, Turkey. These authentic Sivas rugs undergo intentional aging processes such as distressing to achieve a weathered and worn appearance, fading the colors, and softening the textures. Characteristics of distressed Turkish Sivas rugs often include faded colors, frayed edges, and worn-in patterns. Despite their aged appearance, these Turkish Sivas rugs are meticulously crafted from high-quality wool using traditional hand-knotting techniques. They blend the allure of antique rugs with modern durability, making them prized for their vintage charm and ability to add character to any space. Distressed Turkish Sivas rugs are sought-after items within interior design circles for their unique aesthetic and timeless appeal.
Exuding both nostalgic charm and quiet sophistication, this hand-knotted wool distressed vintage Sivas rug...
