Rustic Furniture
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.

Painted Buffet 17th Century Provenance Prof Dr José Hermano Saraiva
Located in Lisboa, PT
A seventeenth-century buffet with traces of old painting, from the private collection of Professor José Herman Saraiva, would be a piece of antique furniture of Portuguese origin, dating from the seventeenth century and that presents indications of ancient painting on its surface. Professor José Herman Saraiva is a figure known for his academic work and the private collection he owned.
The term "buffet" refers to a type of furniture used to store tableware, such as cutlery, plates, glasses, among others, and that can have a decorative function in the dining room or other areas of the house. Seventeenth-century buffets often feature design features and woodworking techniques of the time, such as elaborate carvings, turned feet, carved wood details, and metal handles, among other decorative elements.
The presence of traces of old paint on the surface of the buffet may indicate that the piece was originally painted or lacquered, which was common in antique furniture for wood protection or aesthetic purposes. The old paint may have been applied in one or more layers, and the remaining traces may...
