Rustic Seating

RUSTIC STYLE

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.

Long French Wabi-Sabi Pine Bench with Sculptural Trestle Supports, circa 1900

Long French Wabi-Sabi Pine Bench with Sculptural Trestle Supports, circa 1900

Located in Boven Leeuwen, NL

A remarkably long and atmospheric French antique bench dating from around 1900, made from solid pine and retaining a beautifully dry, pale and naturally weathered surface that defines true wabi-sabi character. The narrow plank seat measures 219 centimetres in length and rests on two broad sculptural trestle supports whose boldly shaped profiles and wide feet give this French pine bench a strong architectural silhouette with an almost primitive, folk art quality. Unlike many traditional trestle benches, this long rustic bench has no long connecting stretcher between the supports, a restrained construction original to the piece that gives it a particularly open and sculptural appearance. Its greatest quality is the beautifully lived-in, timeworn pine surface. Decades of use have softened every edge and built up a layered patina of faded timber, darker worn areas, scratches, stains, old cracks and natural colour variation. Several inset wooden patches remain visible in the seat, honestly documenting old repairs rather than disguising them. The pale, weathered top contrasts warmly with the deeper brown tone of the shaped supports and feet. This is not a polished or heavily restored antique trestle bench...
