French Provincial Furniture
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.

When one thinks of great food, one invariably thinks of France.

THE FOOD OF FRANCE is the second in a series of richly photographed cookbooks that examines the food of different countries. Lush images and information on France and its internationally renowned gastronomic culture make this book much more than a cookbook.

Noble Collection Board
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
We have rethought the design of the standard kevint shelf and given it a modern twist. The word "kevint" is German for "cabinet". In Japan, it refers to a medicine cabinet. It is said to have originated in Germany, a country with advanced medical technology. This is what we call a kevint shelf. It would also make a great display shelf for a shop.
The beautiful symmetry of the shelves gives a sense of stability to the room. The arrangement of the glass shelves, for example, has been carefully chosen to create a harmonious whole. The cast iron handles are made by pouring molten iron into a mould. The "Clermont bolt", which has to be turned to open, adds to the antique look. The decoration is unobtrusive to enhance the beauty of the display, yet the handwork is delicate and luxurious. It can be used in both Japanese and Western styles. The material is oak. It is used all over the world for its hard wood and beautiful grain. It is available in six chic colours to complement its texture.
Colour variations
Wood is available in the following six colours
Grey
The wood is painted in a mixture of grey and white with a brown base. Subtle nuances are expressed in the wood.
Fume
A coating that reproduces the natural weathering of furniture over a long period of time. It gives the furniture a characteristic look.
Light
This is the lightest of the light wood finishes. It is also the lightest of the light finishes.
