Rustic Wall Decorations
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.

Ethel Magafan "Evening Moon" Pen and Ink Drawing
By Ethel Magafan
Located in Garnerville, NY
Ethel Magafan (1916-1993) pen and ink sketch drawing entitled "Evening Mood". Signed lower right. Circa 1950. This piece comes from the Estate of Anton Otto Fischer after Magafan moved to Woodstock, NY where his home and studio were.
Good overall condition. Wear consistent with age and not being framed. There is obvious darkening of the paper surface due to the piece originally having an old matte surrounding the sight opening. No visible rips, tears or restorations. Soft corners and edges.
Approximately 8" wide x 6" high.
