French Provincial Style: It's Origin and Definition
The traditional craftsman of the French countryside made a point of emulating the artisans producing fine furniture for the royal and wealthy class. Therefore the furniture will typically exhibit features like graceful curved lines, elaborate moldings, hand-carved embellishments and detailed hardware. However, rather than being overly intricate, the furniture would be solid and sturdy, reflecting the colours of the rural landscape in a predominantly soft and muted palette. There would be an emphasis on natural materials such as weathered or distressed timbers and wrought iron.
French Provincial Style: How to do it
We love how Bramble Co does French Provincial style, but take note - these pieces are produced just like they may have come directly from the French Countryside. They are eclectic, they do have a level of detail not normally seen in modern French Provincial furniture, and they may also exhibit minor irregularities in the timber and from the manner in which it has been crafted using traditional tools. These all really add to the character of the piece. French Provincial is not about perfection - that is what the Parisian artisans were trying to achieve for the nobility! And the beauty about Bramble Co is that you can choose your own colours! Click here to learn more about colour choice.
