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.

Large French Ceramic Hanging Fountain with Lid
Located in Victoria, BC
This magnificent large French ceramic hanging fountain is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the mid-19th century. Originating from Marseilles, this exquisite piece showcases the skillful combination of form and glaze to create a stunning visual effect.
The centerpiece of the fountain is a beautifully molded dolphin, meticulously crafted and glazed in a rich burnt orange hue. The dolphin's intricate details, from its sinuous body to its gracefully arched tail, demonstrate the sculptor's mastery in capturing the essence of this majestic sea creature.
The background of the fountain features a wave-like design, glazed in a vibrant yellow tone. The interplay between the burnt orange of the dolphin and the contrasting yellow waves creates a striking and harmonious color palette, evoking the movement and energy of the sea.
This hanging fountain comes complete with a lid, adding an element of functionality and practicality to its artistic appeal. The lid is designed to securely cover the fountain, ensuring the proper functioning of the water feature.
With dimensions of approximately 20 inches in height, 12 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth, this large ceramic hanging fountain makes a commanding presence. Its size and visual impact allow it to serve as a captivating focal point in any interior or outdoor space, whether suspended from a ceiling or showcased on a wall.
The craftsmanship and origin of this piece, dating back to the mid-1800s in Marseilles, contribute to its historical significance. It represents a time when French artisans excelled in the creation of decorative ceramics, showcasing their talent and innovation.
This French ceramic hanging fountain with its burnt orange dolphin and yellow wave background is a truly remarkable find. Its artistic beauty, historical value, and functional design make it an exceptional piece for collectors of antique ceramics...

Les Cinglés Du Chocolat Hardcover French Edition

Les cinglés du chocolat Hardcover French Edition.
Text in French small Size.
Dimensions: 8.5 in x 5.5 in x 0.5 in.
Les cinglés du chocolat by Sandra Boynton, Jean-Jacques Brisebarre, Sylvie Girard.
Published: 1987.
English title: Chocolate: The Consuming Passion.
CHOCOLATE continues to delight chocoholics everywhere. Packed with Boynton's famous hippos, bunnies, pigs, and other animals, this gift-perfect book is a whimsical commentary on the individual's relationship to chocolate, its varieties, and its sources. From the several sorts of chocolate connoisseur-including the gourmoo, who eats only milk chocolate-to the several shapes of chocolate itself (bunny, kiss, glove compartment bar), Boynton's apologia for chocolate misses nothing. Myths are chocolate is not fattening, she argues, especially when the caloric expenditure of carrying it home from the store and hiding it from company is factored in. Directions are to remove stains, lick them. Plus, how to grow chocolate at home, a foolproof method for determining if chocolate is in season (does the name of the month contain the letter A, E, or U?), and a recipe for Hippo Pot de Mousse. "Fourteen out of ten people like chocolate," says the artist. This is the only guide for people who like chocolate the way they like to breathe.
