French Country Furniture for Every Room in Your Home
French country furniture adds comfortable style to your home decorating
whether you start with just chairs or an accent chest, or do an entire room.
During pre-revolutionary times, style originated with the king. Entire workshops
with the best artists were dedicated to creating and producing furniture and decorative
arts for the royal family alone. Outside Paris and Versailles, furniture design
was inspired by the court (especially Louis XV and Louis XVI), but it was more rustic
and functional. It was usually made from local wood and had design motifs
of local flora and fauna. Home decorating styles tended to lag behind what was fashionable
in Paris in proportion to the distance, and tended to change more slowly. Each area
of France had it's own style, Provençal, Brittany and Burgundian are probably most
familiar to us. Original pieces are very difficult to find so we are fortunate
that reproductions and modern interpretations of these pieces are available. The
chests and chairs shown here are a good illustration of the quality and variety
that's available. French country furniture--style that's still comfortable--interior
decorating at it's best! Go to: Provencal Chairs,
