Item #5828, Provence Settee

Our French Provincial collection is inspired by the French Provincial furniture that graced country homes and farm houses in Normandy, Provence and Bordeaux from the 18th to mid-19th centuries. This furniture was produced by French artisans in provincial centers such as Blois, Orleans and Lyon who crafted rustic versions of the elaborate Louis XV and Rococo furniture that was popular in Paris. Their designs combined form and functionality with grace, and made finer living accessible to those who lived in the countryside.
