French Provincial Furniture
The provincial furniture styles of the French countryside mirrored those of the Louis XV and Louis XVI royal court in Versailles, albeit with more restraint. Despite its more humble background, today you'll find French provincial furniture decorating luxury five-star hotels and Michelin-rated restaurants because, the style embodies sophistication and class while doing away with the gold-gilded pretension of its royal cousin. That's not to say that each doesn't have its own place, however, the provincial style does have the flexibility of fitting in in both formal and more casual settings (shabby chic being one example).

French Provincial Dining Room Furniture Pieces
The dining room in any home is a place for family, a place for friends, and a place to create and hold unforgettable fine dining or family gatherings that will be cherished for years to come. It makes sense then to ensure that your dining room furniture is of stunning, heirloom quality.

French Provincial Living Room Furniture
This esteemed style evokes the spirit of manor homes, large yet modest farmhouses, and the humble country estates of the aristocrats all together. The French Provincial sophistication in antique furniture has become a well-loved mainstay for antique lovers around the globe, and with excellent reason.
One of the distinctives of French country furniture are the many white, cream, and pastel-colored painted finishes you'll find in different provinces. While the courts of Louis XV and XVI adorned their palaces with striking gold-leaf and fine inlaid marquetry work, provinces such as Lyon and Orleans (which New Orleans is named after) directed their focus to softer and lighter painted colors, sometimes even mixing the paints with dirt to produce wonderfully complex earthy tones. In addition to offering these finishing options through our customization services, Laurel Crown also reproduces our French country dining chairs and dining tables with the option of distressed finishes. The distressing not only gives the appearance of a well-loved antique, but also draws attention to the style's modest rural origins where this furniture was not just formal decoration, but used on a day to day basis.
